Do you mean business logic? Because large parts of that are also farmed out to opensource packages. If someone has implemented it on GitHub, my manager will find it, pull it in, and hack it until it does what is needed.

What can't be done this way is dictated by my manager. I have to implement it as specified in JIRA. There's very little room for creativity.

That just sounds like a bad manager.

why are managers pulling in this code?

"hack it" sounds outside their scope
