Indie developers think almost exclusively about if the product is good and sacrifice project/code quality at every turn in order to ship it.

Non-indie devs think almost exclusively about if the code is good, and sacrifice timelines, budgets, and actually shipping something at all at every turn.

I'm talking about myself in both cases 😂

I'm not sure that's an indie thing or a general startup thing. You can be part of a startup team and still be sacrificing code quality and so on.

I've actually heard that in many cases the low headcount and fast pace in many startups can bring about terrible code quality.
