Having worked on some projects that were haste-at-all-costs piles of hacks, it can be a huge morale sink being told to just bolt more stuff on and not worry about the future. On the one hand, sometimes you really do cut that stuff loose (writing a driver for hardware and ending up switching to a different vendor), but even in those cases, there's pride in having taken the time to do the job right.
