Do they care if a year down the road your maintenance costs increase fivefold? Have they seen the analysis which shows that initial development cost just makes a small fraction of the total cost and that fraction get smaller the longer software is in use?
Do they care if a year down the road your TTM times increase tenfold?
We know that the bad code slows us down. Why do we write it?
Why do we write the code that slows us down? How much does it
slow us down? It slows us down a lot. And every time we touch
the modules we get slowed down again. Every time we touch bad
code it slows us down, what do we write this stuff what slows
us down?
And the answer to that is: well we have to go fast.
I'll let you to deal with the logical inconsistency there, my
message to you today is—you don't go fast by writing crap.
No. When they have seen all the bugs, they will tell you to fix them and when you make a new feature they will tell you the same thing, just make it work, just ship it.
