That "system" flies in the face of all modern coding best practices.

They tend to get the job "done" quickly but then someone else usually has to clean up their mess. And then the someone else's manager wants to know why it takes so long to resolve the problems.

They thrive in a situation where there is low quality control and few metrics of performance after go-live. Sadly that is most companies.
