Commented out code is a terrible idea. It is the reason you look at source code and see it filled with garbage. When you have a developer who has no confidence in their code then you ask the usual question about requirements, testing, code review, etc. If it's still not committed then there's clearly a developer issue to workout with management. When a developer fails to follow through on their tasks and takes extra time then this increases the budget of a project. |

It was(is) a (very) huge project which is still in development (my last interaction was more than 3 years ago) being built by a very big company in tech space, and various parts of it were outsourced to various vendors (including Indian software shops) and I was consultant to one such vendor. There were huge number of layers of management, while all the usual questions you mentioned would have the answer "yes".
So yeah the devs were in general scared about the code and management both. They wouldn't ask questions, just say "yes" to everything.
