As an infra guy, it seems like all my biggest fights at work lately have been about quality. Long abandoned dependencies that never get updated, little to no testing, constant push to take things to prod before they're ready. Not to mention all the security issues that get shrugged off in the name of convenience.

I find both management and devs are to blame. For some reason the amazingly knowledgeable developers I read on here daily are never to be found at work.

Yes. I’ve had the same experience. Literally have had engineers get upset with me when I asked them to consider optimizing code or refactor out complexity. “Yeah we’ll do it in a follow up, this needs to ship now,” is what I always end up hearing. We’re not their technical leads but we get pulled into a lot of PRs because we have oversight on a lot of areas of the codebase. From our purview, it’s just constantly deteriorating.
