I totally agree. It's hard because management relentlessly pushes you to get things 'done', to move onto the next thing. That thing is done already, why do you want to touch it? Why is this thing going to take so long to do, didn't you do those other parts already? Sure, you can have some maintenance time later.... Maybe, I guess. No sorry this new feature is a higher priority. Also why aren't you quicker?

There's a lot of social pressure that pushes people to view code as a thing that's either done and permanent, or not done, unfinished and therefore unacceptable.
