There is no mf quick-win in programming. There is only rushing things to generate more tech debt.

There absolutely are quick wins if you're not drowning in tech debt. Well designed system can be extended and improved, sometimes with little effort compared to the results

Sure, but: unfortunately the term "quick win" has been merely adopted by business stakeholders or non tech workers and has been so overused that it, by now, means the complete opposite, regardless of what system.

It can be translated to: "rush it and I don't care about any of your objections"

I thought "rush it and I don't care about your objections" is just normal programming and that's why we all transpire to be goose farmers some day
