yeah but when I do that, people get mad at me and ask "why number so big", then when I explain they say "ok but what if there aren't any issues" and then they make schedules based on that clearly incorrect number

    Mad? In a professional workplace?

    "If you can give me that issue free codebase, I'm happy to do that, but failing that, it takes 3 days to add that feature that is akin to the leaning tower of Piza taped together with duct tape. There is only so much tech debt you can pile on until you are in code hell, and unfortunately, we are."

    If they do some weird ass schedule "well, you can write down that if you wish, feel free to write down that my other car is a Bugatti, if we are just theorising on a perfect unicorn world".
