We've got a winner. Devs respond to the incentives set by management, and the message I have received loud and clear, my entire career, despite protestation, is that I should ship faster and not worry about bugs so much, big or small.

That I take pride in what I do is the only reason motivating me to not ship bugs. That and the thought of being the cause of an incident makes me physically ill, even though we have "blameless culture".
