You make a good point - sometimes the 'stupid' programing decisions of management are actually smart business decisions. They prefer messy code that makes money to pristine code that doesn't, and that's just business. The money it makes keeps us employed. The fact that we coders are immersed in the details makes us more concerned about them than about the big picture - which is fine, but we need to be overruled at times.
I'm glad that you've got a boss who understands the tradeoffs.
