> We have to make time to mold code and recaftor it without buy in - make that time built in to the estimates you give. The problem is that often management has been technical at some point in the past and will want a full breakdown of why something costs more time than they think to implement. Soon as you detail having to refactor X or do some other “non-essential” thing then it gets put on the cutting room floor. I’ve experienced this a lot. It’s often people who have escaped having to write code that are the biggest backstabbers.
