Wrong question, how does a bad manager getting in your way tie in with building well-designed quality CRUD applications? Obviously the problem here is the manager, not the fact that you want to write and build quality work. Especially if they run on flawed assumptions such as "the mentality that $ revenue is proportional to # features". You can't build quality under shitty management like that. There's markets and jobs for both types: some desire cheap & shitty, others are willing to pay premium for solid, beautiful & well-designed.
