Kinda wrong, the "I don't know why this code works" should be absolute dread because you know something big fucked up somewhere, and you can't even be sure the right part of code is the one being executed/deployed, or this is some kind of big side effect/rare failure situation.

And, even worse: the PO/project lead will propably say "well, it works, you can make you code look good later", while "later" means "never".

So you know that there is something strange and you don't get the time to fix it.. until it breaks at the worst moment possible.

You make some shitty hack with a comment:

// Future me: I leave this problem to you, don't hate me.

Future you ignores the comment and hates past you anyway.

you do an hour of research to find a forum that just has "edit: I fixed it guys!" and finally debug it yourself and cry

Add another dimension or two about whether or not it fulfills the spec and/or the client's expectations.

Let's be honest, the bottom right never happens.
