Here's how you can handle conflicts arising from technical debt or legacy code as a software developer.
"Write E2E and unit tests to prevent insomnia" - Albert Einstein (not). In seriousness though, tests will save your company & product from bad reviews (due to quality issues), and you personally from breaking things in the future. Invest in tests now, to live a happier life later.

Here's how you can handle conflicts arising from technical debt or legacy code as a software developer.
If, by refactoring code, you: - Introduce new bugs - Make it easier to understand for you, but harder to maintain for the team (based on their skills & experience) - Make it adhere to some 'widely accepted' standards, but, as a result, make it much harder to further develop the product Then the refactoring is not worth it. The best way to refactor is via small, incremental changes, that help the whole team, do not negatively affect delivery or ease of maintenance, and make everybody's life easier.

Here's how you can handle conflicts arising from technical debt or legacy code as a software developer.
Since technology exists to serve the business & product, any justification for handling tech debt & backlog - should be focused on the business & product improvements that will be achieved as a result. Business & product people don't care that the code is not organised well, or has 300 TODOs. They do care about team productivity, morale, and quality of user experience. Show that the tech debt is affecting these, and suddenly tech debt elimination will be prioritised on the management level.

Literally every company in the world has legacy codebase. No way around it, it's a given, and we need to accept it. That doesn't mean we need to increase it, but it does mean we cannot fully avoid it. The main questions we actually need to ask ourselves when dealing with any new feature work are: - Does this change really benefit the business? - How soon does it need to be done & go live? (implementation quality vs speed) - Does the team have the required skills and capacity to deliver, within the required time? These are the only questions that matter. Anything else - is just excuses for not doing the actual work that needs to be done. Things like quality of delivery, bugs, security, etc - are all concerns the team should have regardless
