Can you expand on this difference of viewpoints and especially summarize Steve's viewpoint in a way that he would agree with? This point seems to be interesting.
Answer more substantially in my other new comment.
Further one piece that would be useful for summary - could you give some summary stats on your contribution to rust-lightning?

This doesn’t represent all the testing and review time spent on others folks PRs, neither that my commits were also in the delicate parts of the codebase (i.e the on-chain backend).
Professionally, I’m always putting more the emphasis on “is the code correct and is the shit going to fly in production ?” than meeting the tick for the corporate trimestrial deadlines. Been in bitcoin since a while, and I’ve also seen few security nightmares also happening in the smart contract shitcoin world...
