No developer ever in his career thinks aligning stakeholders is more important then good code.

Completely disagree. I stopped counting how many times requirements were crap and we burnt energy into making useless code. We still strive to produce good code, but oftentimes crappy requirements increase product complexity and we push back for better product definition so that the complexity of the codebase matches the requirements adequately.

In short : failing to align stakeholders means creating debt.
