It feels hopeless because I don't think their incentives align. The PMs want to get features out asap. Test out ideas asap. They want to get new work into production. The engineers want to build features that are well thought out, low maintenance. This takes time. PMs can get engineers excited and get them to want to work quickly and worry about the little stuff later. The problem is the little stuff that needs to be fixed never seems to become a priority because the next new feature needs to go out. But only the engineers are responsible for the fixing.
