Why do we ever need to do write tests if the code works?

Why do we create encapsulated build setups if everyone from the team knows how it install it on their machines anyway?

Why do we waste time on writing documentation?

And above all: if during a three-day hackathon we can create a game, why does it take months or years to create a publishable one?
