    That’s one of the failure modes, good orgs would have design and review processes to stop it.

    There are other classics like arbitrary deadlines, conflicting and shifting requirements and product direction, perverse incentives, etc.

    I would even say that the AI craze is a result of the latter.

      Yeah, certain code developed organically (aka shifting demands). Devs know the code gets worse, but either by time or money they don’t have the option to review and redo code.
