A software conference that advocates for quality

For a non-engineer (business) person the case "engineering quality vs move fast break things" sounds more like "slow & expensive VS fast". The choice is obvious.

It’s not that at all though, the adage “slow down to speed up” applies, because high quality engineering will inevitably increase throughput in the long run.

Really that’s the core of it

It's more like "slow and expensive vs. fast and more expensive"

You should challenge this idea in your internal monologue. Learn a bit more about technology and how it's made. "Fast" in most cases most definitely does not equal cheap, especially over the long term.

"How can you not have enough time to do it right, but enough time to do it twice?"

What a fantastic way of responding to/framing this.
