In retort, that's just doubling down that everything should always be average and plodding.
I'm not saying one shouldn't learn how to stage large changes into a mature codebase. Sometimes the overhead is very worth it, maybe most times if you're close to the profit center of a faang. But one should understand multiple ways of working, for different situations.
