This is backwards, IME. I want to maintain a system and make it run great. Management is always pushing for some damn new thing, and features and velocity over stability and quality.

I have colleagues who push ever forward with no regard to maintenance, and others who prefer the satisfaction of refactoring a working system into working even better. I find that both types can be very productive software developers, given the right team and leaders.
