It's a trade-off. The gnarly thing is that you're trading immediate benefits for higher maintenance costs and decreased reliability over time, which makes it a tempting one to keep taking. Sure, there will be negative business value, but later, and right now you can look good by landing the features quicker. It's FAFO with potentially many reporting quarters between the FA and the FO.

This trade-off predates LLMs by decades. I've been fortunate to have a good and fruitful career being the person companies hire when they're running out of road down which to kick the can, so my opinion there may not be universal, mind you.
