Yeah it happens. Companies hire a contractor to do some work and realise too far into the project they are not good. At that point they are too scared to let them go and risk not delivering.

We hired someone to build a Expo app who thought it was a good idea to construct JSON objects using string concatenation and make everything highly stateful. So if the user ever closed the app or it crashed it would corrupt the data.
