I've personally seen way more of a bias to shipping something because "now it's free" without actually discussing whether it's worthwhile. "Just do it" and we'll measure it later. Often the later doesn't happen though. I think this article is a good reminder that applying taste and asking questions is still valuable, even if the code is considered to be cheaper.
