    Worst part is when the un-refactored code continues to confuse other devs, meaning it keeps causing additional work, but you still don’t get time to actually fix it.

    At my company we allocate 20% of our time on “Better engineering”, and it counts as impact when you’re up for bonuses/raises so people actually have a reason to push to do it

      i saw something like this once and their source was the neatest and most professional i’ve ever seen and it’s convinced me that this is the only way refactoring ever happens.
