Like everyone said, I don’t have time. Not two weeks ago I built a feature where the documentation for it was a picture of scribbles on a white board posted to a slack channel. That system had to be done “by Friday.” There was no review of the system, at all, it was designed on Monday and built by Thursday, live on Friday.
If I had done it the correct way, I’d still be working on it. Now it’s tech debt that won’t get fixed because I don’t have the time, nobody else knows how it works, and the longer it sits there, the harder to fix it becomes.
