I would do that if I could, but at my brand name tech company (and a lot of others) they seem to treat refactoring as completely wasted time.

That sucks. I'm sorry.

I manage to slip it in out of principle, but my whole career I've been cleaning up other people's messes and getting pushback.

I think the original "10x engineer" study showed that engineers that wrote clean code maximize everyone else's productivity. (It's debatable, but certainly a good argument in favor of writing good code.)

But most people seem to think that the most productive engineers are the ones who can create features as rapidly as possible.
