The question presumes that developers are choosing to write crappy code and just need to be convinced to write good code. That's silly. Either they're capable of writing good code and want to, or they're not. If you have to convince people to write good code, then you have poor developers.
That's not to say there aren't external factors that degrade the maintainability and robustness of the code, and the questioner suggests things are rushed to get stuff out of the door.
You can try to get management's agreement to terms regarding technical debt (that is, that time will be given post-release to deal with technical debt). If this cannot be agreed to, or the managers reneg on an agreement, then you can just start estimating your work upfront taking into account (a) the effort it'll take to do things with minimal technical debt, and (b) the refactoring of existing crud that you'll need to do in whatever areas you'll have to work with.
Things like improving new team mber ramp up time are fuzzy and speculative. If you can make the improvements you want, then you can look back to see how those improve. Gather that data so you can advocate for more changes with some data to back your arguments, including the value to the company in saved hours, increased turnaround time (after the initial investments for undoing the crap that's already there).
Above all, prepare to go the extra mile to do the sorts of refactoring you want to do, including spendig long hours. If you're not motivated to do that, then you should ask yourself if you really care enough about the product/company to make that level of personal investment. If not, then learn to coast by their standards, or seek another team/company that provides the work environment you're looking for.
A moratorium on Internet-Americans? When will this country learn that diversity and immigration are its cornerstones? Millions of Internet-Americans are already here, they're not going anywhere, and growing their ranks is our only path to economic salvation!
Yeah because I'm sure the companies would never negotiate separate data confidentiality policies when setting up services segmented specifically for a government.
Amazon doesn't have a dedicated cloud service for the government in the UK which has rejected Amazon's application to provide cloud services for the government.
Will wonders never cease?!
And um, regarding comments on off-shoring data/services, Amazon certainly does have cloud services that run on hosts in the UK... Dublin mostly. (There may be open questions about the parent company being US-based, but those wouldn't have to do with the geographic location of the services and data, which surely would be hosted from the Dublin data centers.)
Landowners have air rights as high as can be reasonably used by the landowner, except presumably where federal rights to navigable airspace reasonably trump them.
The law has a lot of the use of the word "reasonably".

Still no sign of oil. What a f*ckin waste!
I don't see a lot of games released here in which you get to play a Pakistani agent conducting ops in the states.

That makes up for me stalking their aisles for products and then buying them online for cheaper.
Yes, the early 80s, when the big issue was what time it was in America.
You misspelled FCC.
Expecting to plug in to AC is rather retarded on an aircraft[...]
"Retarded" though it may be, Virgin Atlantic has them, as do many (most?) international flights.
More like squat in an abandoned house for 12 years.
If you didn't already know what Qt was, then you're probably not going to be particularly interested that version 5.0 is out.
They have to be public officials first, and threatening to sue is not really extortion.
I use Linux daily and personally love it, and I wasn't the one suggesting for the uncle to get a Mac; but nice try.
Is your wife a baby-boomer who can't understand how forged email works?
Yep, that way instead of having to explain email to his uncle, he gets to explain Unix, and Open Office, etc.
That doesn't explain how the spambots knew to send an email purpotedly from him to his uncle.
It's possible one or both of their Facebook privacy settings are overly lax, allowing anyone to see their email addresses and friendship.

Oops, typing got ahead of brain. Right you are on that point.
Or, you know, encrypt it.

Except that it's not used a national currency anywhere.

...but then I took an arrow of time in the knee.
Then when they're done setting up the filters, the parents can have their kids show how to disable/circumvent them.
And Dish was gonna drop AMC.
"The scariest aspect of this story may be the fact that an entire lab was constructed for John McAfee's research purposes."
Um, no. The scariest aspect is that he is implicated in the murder of someone.
