I've had success granting myself comp time when I've been up late or worked on the weekend to fix ops issues. Eg if I'm up at 2 or 3, I come in at noon or 1pm, and if it takes more than 2 hours, I just take a full day. The one boss who complained shut up when I told him he had 3 options: (1) deal, (2) remove ops responsibilities, (3) I quit on the spot. It's incredibly necessary to push the costs of sloppy code to be really apparent to management.

Well said. I've done the same thing, and fought to make it standard department wide. I'm a dev, I -want- to do the right thing, but sometimes management insists on cutting corners. Fine, but the interest payments on that technical debt should be upon their head.
