People most likely pay you to do valuable work, not quality work. One doesn’t necessarily mean the other.
If your coworkers can get into the groove faster than you (for whatever reason), you’ll continue to do quality work, not look busy, and no longer be paid for it.
Looking at my salary, which is at least twice as much as my coworkers in the past 15 years at various companies, because I ship quality solutions, companies seem to think that quality is quite valuable.
No you don't understand, this person writes quality code in an intellectually honest way because they use machines in a very specific way, just enough but not too much. Everyone else is just slinging shitcode. Good luck finding someone as good as this random person online you've never heard of!
I don't mean to attack this person specifically but it's a frankly pretty bad mindset that is far too prevalent in our profession - the way I do things in the Right Way, I write Good Code, very few other people write Good Code, and because I do things the way they were done 5, 10, 25 years ago means that my way is better than yours.
