as a manager-programmer, one problem is that us programmers have an elaborate script to explain away any issues.

true, but it is also extremely difficult to explain why things like testing and refactoring are important. Mutual trust is necessary

@tildeio I pretty much accept any requests to pay down technical debt, and am not really talking about that. -
there's always like 50% kernel of truth in what we're saying, 50% elaborate excuse for prioritizing poorly.

prioritization can come in many forms, but poor prioritization slows down teams while good refactoring speeds them up.

i've made those kinds of mistakes myself. Better to develop more incrementally and learning along the way.
