But it's a false premise; the claim is that just copy/pasting something is faster, but is it really?
The demanding / loud person can and should be ignored; as a developer, you are responsible for code quality and maintainability, not your / their manager.
I agree. I always take the time to clean things up along the way, but short term thinning is often incentivized and rewarded.
