This doesn't apply to software engineering. No one cares that your code is shitty if you can deliver within the unrealistic deadline set by PMs. Just ship it, claim gains, get promoted, and quickly move on before the shittiness of the code catches up with you.

Pro-moted? What's that?

It's when you apply for a better position and get hired. Almost always in a different company. Or a company you left earlier.
