>"Why?" "Because our culture has product managers demanding things with short deadlines and no concern about the code quality." If you want the 5-whys to not be a joke, you certainly shouldn't be arriving at such strong conclusions without an enormous amount of evidence. There's likely many other explanations. A serious answer to a "why" question requires enough evidence that it could not be explained in any other way. If we just want to arrive at strong conclusions that fit in with our priors, so be it, but at least be honest that you don't care about the truth.
