Its a catch 22, An experienced developer understands Technical Debt better than an experienced Project Manager, Project managers are mostly MBAs (thats how companies hire them), some are developers but they probably left development and have no idea about how to write code as they forget after doing their MBA.
Problem also lies with developers, Developers are little poor when it comes to manage a Project, creating milestones, achieving enough strength in product to make a perfect release, these are tasks that developers don't even care about.
The solution lies in, teaching developers concepts of project management and continuing both in parallel, is far better than someone with MBA degree. Understanding importance of release cycle and balancing code quality, both should be prime responsibilities of Project Manager. But mostly they are only involved in Release Cycles.
Last year I did code review of one project of one of high revenue company(close to billion), code was written 14 years ago and had lot of SQL Injection bugs. PM had six figure salary in USD. Company didn't like the review as the PM was very loyal to them. They were certainly in huge technical debt as they had difficulty in going Mobile.
I suspect that Universities or MBA Course Designers do not weigh Technical Debt at all.
Even as a developer, if you raise your voice, it will just serve as a small statement in future as "Look what I told you", everybody goes with Label (Degree, University), not with your voice. In such situation, you can only raise your label.
It's not their fault, businesses do rely heavily on degrees, and they will listen to you if you can present your idea in the form of financial values. Unless Technical Debt appears as a dollar value, it has no value.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
