When first starting out, you finish 1, 2, 5, 10 tasks in a very short amount of time, the code for it is absolutely horrible but the client is pleased as it does the job well. And so is the team because, well, less work they have to do.

The project manager starts making up an approximation of how much time it takes you to finish a task and starts handing them out to you at that pace.

So you keep bringing bad code in the project, really fast and you are now also pressed by deadlines for each task and can no longer provide good code and tests.

That's where a lot of people are and can't escape.
