Okay, sure, do fast. Then:

  • I'll add a refactor task to the backlog filed under "tech debt"
  • please confirm again that you know we are still behind on security updates and that you're ok with it because you are responsible for how I spend my hours
  • I'd like more time to spend on bugs before we lose customers.
  • Also I won't touch that buggy part without taking the time for a rewrite because we did it "fast" per your request and it's so hard to maintain now that it becomes a time sink on every minor change
  • I know we are under time pressure right now, but as a stakeholder I request we plan a few sprints for improving reliability of our product
  • It's not "fun" to work on our code. We might lose developers if we do not address this. We both know the good coders will have no problem finding a new job and you'll end up with the bad ones.
  • Either that, or plan for loss of personnel and the extra time we need for the hiring process and the loss of developer hours
