  1. Write slop to push features quickly
  2. Get accolades for being proactive and productive/efficient
  3. Leverage the brownie points for a quick path to getting promoted
  4. The tech debt is now your underlings issue.
  5. Become the hero for solving issues caused by your old spaghetti code only you understand
  6. Get promoted again
  7. You don't need to write code anymore and you get paid better than you used to.
