In my head I have a rolling ranking of which of my co-workers are most likely to use production pressure as an excuse to wave off legitimate criticism of their design decisions in the PR phase.

I, of course, never do this, but I am extremely likely to use the excuse "that is a better design but I don't want to do it that way because I am lazy", I'm just more willing to say these things out loud. Sometimes the pain of typing that out forces me to reconsider my position. _Sometimes_.
