I only agree with this if the developers also get to choose the deadlines for the app/features they build. All too often, the higher-ups want a feature but don't want to take the development time necessary to build it properly. And shortcuts are taken all over the place to get the feature done in time. The higher-ups don't care about doing things correctly and don't have any pain when things go wrong. Which makes it more likely to push this sort of behavior.

I think developers should build code that fails in predictable ways with useful error messages that a support team can use to solve problems. If the support team cannot fix the problem with the information provided, then a developer should need to get involved. This way, developers only feel pain if the code they write fails in ways support cannot handle.
