Me: We did [technical debt] and [next feature] is hard to implement because of it. I suggest we do [actual 5 min solution] before proceeding to implement [next feature].

Colleagues: Agreed

Team Lead: We don't have time for this I dont want to change anything because the way we did [technical debt] already works besides we can [more technical debt] code go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

    It's too much pain in the ass to go against idiots in charge. And easier to ask for forgiveness than permission too.

    @Crost totally agree.
    I would suggest you take your 5 min solution with The manager in private.
    Duchbags like those are more likely to accept good solutions in private than to get challenged in a meeting.
    Btw,
    I would send a shot summarize of the conversation (positive or not) ,
    So it would be on him 😀 either way.

    @dror It wasn't *my* code, you see (I'm frontend, that part is backend).

    I did write and sent them the code though, but I doubt anything will come out of it.

    Maybe when this specific case comes up again. They will probably use whatever shitty hack they did though
