That's part of it. Plenty of working developers will also omit tests and documentation even without the feature-factory time pressure though. A lot of times, the need for technical documentation isn't even a blip on the TODO radar. If I had a dime for every README where the last change was "Initial commit" and the file only contained

# <PROJECT NAME> Service

This is the new service for <TASK>.

....I could buy a good README.
