    This is a widespread problem in tech companies. Maintainers of existing code don’t get enough recognition. Often that work is more difficult than building new applications from scratch. But the person who builds a nice snappy prototype that can’t be scaled is hailed by management as a genius, while those who have to do the difficult work of developing it to a production ready state and maintaining it are seen as slow.
