Manytimes you just get replaced in the project, when you stand your ground on security or debt.
It takes time for well maintained project to detoriate bad end enough for debt to impact business.
Even when it does , both the biz and new tech leaders are likely to refuse to acknowledge debt is important factor or blame it on you or start a rewrite without understanding what is going wrong to build on top of some shiny new tech everyone wants on their resume.
Yes doing shit on top of shit will be paid later, but sometimes, maybe that's fine to pay later while you are scrambling to make money in the first place ?
