> The problem is that code quality is never prioritized or allocated time, so you either live with it or you go above and beyond and you deal it yourself on your own time.

This is not an inevitability, though. It depends on the temperament of the company you work for. A slight majority of the companies I've worked for didn't mind allocating time for that sort of thing at all (but they did expect you to make a business case for it).
