Debatable. There's lots of poorly written and buggy software out there that still saves people time. Fixing it might not be worth the cost.
And, on the other hand, for some company, fixing bugs is generating them money. Broken window fallacy much? Yeah, someone has to pay.
It's sad to see that in our industry, selling pristine and flawless windows is difficult once the party who has to pay sees its cost. Turns out it's often much easier to sell a cheap window made by duck taping pieces of broken glass, nevermind if there are some gaps and holes in it.
Sure. And that's why bug-free code might become a goal. Because of which way it makes the money flow. It's not a goal on its own, is what I think he's saying.
