In my experience there’s usually a confluence of individual and institutional failures.

It usually goes like this.

1. hotshot developers is hired at company with crappy software
2. hotshot dev pitches a complete rewrite that will solve all issues
3. complete rewrite is rejected
4. hotshot dev shoehorns a new architecture and trendy dependencies into the old codebase
5. hotshot new dev leaves
6. software is more complex, inconsistent, and still crappy

Yes. But the important thing is that now disfunctional organizations have access to tools to write unmaintainable code really fast.

Not in my case. I dont write spaghetti code, i write fettuchini code

Every bad decision in my code bases were because I didn't have enough time to do things the right way
