Because "fix this null pointer exception" is ticket number 14 this week, and your PM just wants it checked off. They don't want to hear that you need another week of digging through layers of spaghetti to track down the source; that doesn't bode well for their KPI goals.
This is a systemic issue in the way software companies function.
- quickthrower2 8y agoWe can blame management but sometimes the developer just doesn’t give a f* or it doesn’t fit their agenda. I guess both are ultimately management issues, but it’s a shared responsibility.
