This is why I hate software engineering as a profession.
You're going to write the "stupid code" to get things out the door, get promoted and move on to another job, and then some future engineer has to come along and fix the mess you made.
But management and the rest of the org won't understand why those future engineers are having such a hard time, why there's so much tech debt, and why any substantial improvements require major rework and refactoring.
So the people writing the stupid code get promoted and look good, but the people who have to deal with the mess end up looking bad.
