Not sure if these are hot takes:
- Difficult to test == poorly designed
- Code review is overrated and often poorly executed, most things should be checked automatically (review should still be done though)
- Which programming language doesn't matter (within reason), while amount of programming languages matters a lot
Even better is to ship small increments often.
Unfortunately in many organisations, leadership doesn't really understand that instead of reducing quality, scope should be reduced in order to ship faster. And developers rarely have a say in these things.
While I agree that it can be considered a hot take industry wide, I don't think for most devs that is a hot take, the ones whom I've seen ship broken stuff were rushed on tight deadlines and didn't have the experience/motivation/political capital to fight back on deadlines.
