Yeah I think poor use of logic is most of the problem. No one's 100% logical... but you get pulled into these discussions asking just how quickly you can get this out... and it just repeats. At the start of the project they'll talk tech debt/spikes/whatever... but as you keep going it's just churn and burn and you really have to do extra/free work if you want to inject more quality.

There's definitely a spectrum from trash to gold plating... but most web shops are in 0 danger of wasting time or gold plating.

I understand the need to go faster from a business perspective... what I don't understand is the lying. Why not just tell us what the plan is so we can plan accordingly?
