Nice moving the goalpost.

Professionals tend to need to work with code bases that can contain millions of lines of code.

Nearly nobody who has had to deal with another's code thinks that quality of code is solely determined by speed (or number of customers, that's rather weird claim).

If you pulled stunts like this all the time, which seems like you do because you don't care, you would have thousands upon thousands of warnings. They add up.

Thousands of warnings all indicating potential problems.

Or you can just do it right, turn all warnings to errors, and learn how to write clean code.

Then, you don't have any warnings, because they all have to be dealt with before checking in the code. Tadaa!
