This is similar to an experience I had. Me and the small dev team were being micromanaged. But we were getting lots of new customers for version 2.0 of our main software product and specifically targetting feature relases to snag certain customers, I feel like it worked from a business perspective. We didn't have time to refactor, didn't have time to anticipate how something would be used in the future and build extensibility into it and the number of hacks in the codebase grew daily. most of us on the dev team knew it was going to be a complete disaster at some point. It was going to take a week to fix a simple bug because it's copy-pasted in 7 different places and something derivative now relied on the bugs behavior. But we were releasing fast and getting money because of it. Initially we fought it but eventually I just figured that if I wasn't on another project when it came time to pay the piper then I'd just find another job. I had given my warnings - when I did have time I still tried to do things right and refactor old code. Ultimately though, the business tradeoff decisions weren't mine to make and I wasn't going to lose any sleep over it.
