> Your job as a sw engineer/architect is to resist the "just ship it" pressure from the management as much as possible. So unless you own what you're coding and you really need it out of the door for your own benefit, if more time makes your work more professional, then take more time. Anyone telling you otherwise is a 100% hack. You are not an automaton that takes in JIRA tickets and spits out hacky code as soon as possible. Or at least you shouldn't be. Not to mention that not taking time (doing things properly) is incredibly taxing on your psyche and you WILL burn out. There are only so much garbage tasks you can take.
Any job, In any industry at any level should be working together with your manager to understand what the company goal and how to achive that. Its always going to be time/price vs quality if you work on creating software or clothing or whatever. There are properly companies and managers that do not care.. but imbany healthy organisation this should be the case. There is not garbage tasks. Its tasks that needs to be done. Any understanding that not all tasks that needs to be done in an organisation is fun but needs to be done is a sign of maturity that you want from your employees
My boss says our goal is to make quality products, but often we don't even have time to check the parts.
Once there was a problem that machine didn't make good enough surface finish, but boss just said it's fine, let it run.
Turns out it wasn't fine and we had to fix 3000 parts with hand sander. That's why I don't like to cut corners.
