In my experience, engineers (I am one too) tend to reach for quick and easy more than correct and hard, and that choice is coming from them, not the business.
If that's the situation, why would anyone explore the "right way to begin with" instead of what's quickest? The right way is the way the business accounts for, not what creates the best quality product and experience. Story as old as time.
In my experience, devs do this because they're required to meet a deadline that is shorter than it should be.
you get what you pay for. I tend to suggest the easy and "correct" way on any given feature with estimates for each. My lead will 99% go for easy. Don't know who up the chain is at fault, but that is clearly the preference.
>It's their job to stand by the truth of the work. If management can't deal with that, I'd be looking for my next place to work.
pretty easy way to end up jumping jobs every 2-3 years. I haven't found that "good management" yet, 6 years and 3 jobs later. It may not even exist in my industry.
