He puts on the veneer of caring about quality, but then gives up the game by admitting the real goal is the cheapest labor possible coughslaverycough.

I don't even see any veneer there. "Especially if you're building lean, moving fast, or trying to scale without blowing your burn rate" doesn't exactly scream "I want to make something nice". Dude, stop moving and scaling, just sit down and build.
