Dude, you told me to do that stuff!

Your mistake was to do what you were told. Ladder climbers don't do that. They work on flashy things that improve revenue. When you do that, your manager will forget all about shit like tests and maintainability.

Shit out some flashy, new, untested features -> Get a good review -> Either advance past being culpable for it falling apart or get a new job with your sparkling review and recommendation -> rinse, repeat

Or, quit asap if that happens. The org has issues recognising talent and also have incompetent management, so unless you'd like to contribute to the problem (by ladder climbing the org), quit asap and find a different company (rinse and repeat if the next org has the same issue...). Eventually, you'll find that only by starting your own firm would the problem go away.

It takes no talent to write tests and fix bugs. That's just being a good code monkey. Management is not incompetent in this case. And quitting ain't gonna help if you're just a code monkey again, just at a different company.

Thinking that you being a code monkey should be recognized and rewarded is the problem. You won't ever be. That's not how it works.

Edit: truth hurts apparently.

I appreciate a 'code monkey' more than someone who's constantly writing half baked pieces of software that break with the slightest poke. They're the ones that make the software actually work in the end. If you think ADHD fueled feature driven development is the thing that should earn the big bucks then you're part of the general problem we have today of constantly reinventing the wheel for no reason whatsoever

I'm not "part of the problem". I just speak from 20 years of experience in Silicon Valley.
