> I came up with Rug Driven Development I so need to steal this term. Not exactly for what you are describing even if I come across this on a nearly weekly basis in so many different industries. Be it automotive, be it finance, be it what ever. But - and this is were I will probably use it in the future - I come across it in agency work. You win a shiny new project proposal and need to quickly show something for your corporate "partners" to shine before their management. To make them look good for their yearly appraisals or what not. You already know that you will never fix the underlying shit you built, because your contract will be a new pitch three years down the line and it isn't clear if you will win it again. So let the next people deal with the tech debt - but guess what: They will just do the same. So debt will pile on and on. So "Rug Driven Development" will be my goto term going forward.
