It depends on. There's of course code that must be deeply checked. And all shades of grey. I guess it needs experience to know when to do what.
Regarding to be forced or not... There are many kinds of pressure, features, deadlines... Of course, I learned how to deal with them and when to speak up or not. My boss is paying me the AI abo. He wants to get things done as fast and as good as possible. That's his job. We have to make sure to not keep behind. Other companies bring out new features faster and faster. Sadly, that's how the world goes round. I personally would take it slower... but seems there's only one way as longs as there are a few that go as fast as possible, you have to keep up.
