I am not comfortable writing bad code, as it is detrimental to my professional development. I am unable to improve my technical skills in this environment. The issue stems from a lack of qualified or senior developers on the team, which makes it easy to write poor-quality code and pass code review. The developers who were on the team before me wrote subpar code, and nobody questioned it. Now, we have items to deliver in sprints, and it's challenging to deliver quality software within the given timeframe. When I try to write good quality code or try to write, I often can't finish my items on time. Unfortunately, nobody blames the existing codebase; instead the blame falls solely on the developer.
What if you do not have enough time to do you best work... Problem isn't about caring, problem is when you care it takes time and when it takes time nobody gives a shit, because they do not care good software but just ship and get results. Also when you have a codebase full of fixmes or bad code it is not easy to adding a single line sometimes because 'technical depth'.
I really like to code, as well as being reviewed or doing code reviews. However, when I try to do code reviews, most of the time I receive comments like 'We do not have time' or 'We can fix it later' or 'This task is just a bug fix'. The problems isn't about caring; I care about the code I write, but when you care, it takes time. When you need time to do things right, this isn't reflected in your performance. I experimented with being like others who don't care much and just do the task as needed, no more. Then I realized improvements in my performance :D.
When you see many of functions with 500 - 1000 lines or most of functions with 10-15 if else statements, I am not joking... There lots of and lots of FIXME: bla bla. If you see this what would you think ?
