Product teams are under pressure to ship fast. The trick is to keep quality high enough that you don't slow down later. I focus on a few habits: small PRs, clear acceptance criteria, and automated checks (lint, types, tests) so reviewers can move quickly.
I avoid big rewrites. Instead, I refactor in small steps and leave the codebase better than I found it. Documenting the "why" behind non-obvious decisions helps new joiners and future you.
Finally, I reserve time for paying down tech debt. Even a few hours per sprint on cleanup and tests reduce bugs and make the next feature easier. Speed and quality reinforce each other when you build that into the rhythm.
