> If your manager doesn't believe that your team should build things correctly and minimise technical debt then he's a terrible manager and you should leave. If you or your manager believe that there is only one "correct" option and that technical debt should always be minimized (vs being balanced against other factors), then odds are you're bother either terrible or very naive. In almost every moderately sized piece of work, there are multiple options and there's a choice of which one to take based on various priorities (ie, the best option varies depending on multiple factors).
