I am not comfortable writing bad code, as it is detrimental to my professional development. I am unable to improve my technical skills in this environment. The issue stems from a lack of qualified or senior developers on the team, which makes it easy to write poor-quality code and pass code review. The developers who were on the team before me wrote subpar code, and nobody questioned it. Now, we have items to deliver in sprints, and it's challenging to deliver quality software within the given timeframe. When I try to write good quality code or try to write, I often can't finish my items on time. Unfortunately, nobody blames the existing codebase; instead the blame falls solely on the developer.
