Do you work with other, potentially unmotivated devs/managers a lot? I wonder how much of this is an incentive issue. I don’t think refactoring itself is as much of an issue than working with 2-3 other engineers that DGAF and a manager who is only looking at LOC to determine who to promote.
But it also doesn’t mean these things aren’t problems, they’re obviously huge problems.
