A zombie apocalypse would really surprise me, the assurance company's reaction though wouldn't.

I really could not be a Zombie : all that walking all the time, that would be too exhausting.

That sounds like, "Why we should take Santa Claus more seriously."

If you seriously want to take Santa more seriously, watch Rare Exports[^]. It is called a 'horror comedy', but it really is one of the deepest, most serious studies of Santa that I know of.
Religious freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make five.

My development colleague is a strong proponent of getting it done cheap and dirty, and this style incurs a lot of technical debt.
Any tips on how you think I could address this point with him?

Insert a bug in one of his old apps and let him debug it.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

If a decent source control system is in use (surely one will be), the first thing he would stumble on is who created the bug, and when. Good luck with talking your way out of that!π

There are times when cheap and dirty is a reasonable approach, like when the spec is churning or when no one has a reasonable idea of what architecture is appropriate. When that's the case, the code should be overhauled once it's finished, unless it miraculously walked the right path.
Unfortunately, dealing with this attitude is very challenging. Many developers suffer from it, as do far too many managers. People of this type should have to evolve and support their code going forward, and managers should be accountable for the productivity of their groups when it keeps getting harder to add functionality and deliver quality code.
The flip side is positive reinforcement. More people will want to do it right, instead of doing it over, if they hear others being praised for delivering cogent code or fostering a culture of software excellence.

That's a very helpful comment, thank you.

Definitely!

The problem with this is modern management styles. In large organizations, managers are moved around quite a bit (typically every 3 years or so). By the time the effects of their manglement are evident, they've moved on to bigger and better things.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

That's true, making it harder to hold them accountable. It also happens with developers. Especially in organizations without a technical career path, many developers aspire to management, which allows them to leave their damage behind.
