You can literally just do this. I’ve never gotten fired from a software engineering job for moving slower and building things that work well, work predictably, and are built to last.
Over a career of working at it, you get dramatically better at higher levels of quality even in earlier passes, so the same level of added effort provides increasing levels of reward as you gain experience.
Nobody ever complains about the person who’s leaving everything they touch a little cleaner than how they found it.
