Outside of engineers there is a whole raft of people on a team that should pick up and push back on this sort of copy problem at all phases of building a product.

are the engineers you do hire rewarded for paying attention to detail though? it's often the case that the company decision makers "want" attention to detail, in that they agree it's a nice thing, but their revealed preferences are more along the lines of "why are you wasting time on component x which is already in a shippable state when component y is behind schedule?!"

Apart from people who just weren’t good, what I found in a few decades is that most people will pay attention to details if given the incentive and time.

What companies seem to want is developers who do everything perfectly despite having someone yelling at them to move fast. Also: the person yelling also doesn’t care about the details until someone else points it out to them.

Just checked your profile out. Turns out I've interacted with Umesh on LinkedIn before on Runnable.

Small world. Nice work, all the best!
