I run into this all the time at work. I'm the guy who makes "shit" work at our under-manned start-up. Lately I'm finding it to my detriment because

a. management releases shit as-is instead of using it as a temporary solution and dedicating resources to finding a better permanent solution

b. other developers hit me over the head with their pedantic view of how it should have been implemented, which would probably thrown the project months or even a year off-schedule

It's a thankless job.
