A combination of sign 3, 8 and 12 can be awful. The features that are shipped are half-baked, teams always say that they will come back and refactor it but of course never do. Developers start to care less and less about quality because that isn't what gets rewarded. Feature ship rates go up in the short term but in the long term slow down as the spaghetti gets worse and worse.

Good developers either see what is happening and jump ship or just get bored and leave.
