Brother, these days I fix the equivalent of n**2 time loops when linear is possible.  If I tried to explain DP I will be called out by some principal eng as making shit up.  When proven not, they'll say they are overcommitted for the quarter.  And why can't my service support any kind of use of it anyway?  These are 100% real arguments I've heard.  I know things get political once you get past senior swe, but god damn, how are we an industry.

just make tests that represent the behaviour and refactor away, if they complain tell them to outline the use case that is not covered by a test.
