If one were conspiratorially minded, they could see this as by design, so people give their loyalty to the employer and state only.

- xvector 5y agoI think it was just sheer incompetence. If you look at subreddits like /r/urbanplanning, the mistakes are clearly recognized and modern urban planners are desperately trying to undo their predecessors' mistakes, but the hole has been dug, and these things take time.
- ornornor 5y agoWouldn’t people on that subreddit be similar to people on HN: fringe and rather ahead of the curve (relatively speaking)? I don’t know much about urban planning but I see it in tech: the stuff discussed on HN and presented as more or less normal/best practice isn’t being done or even thought of as “best practice” outside of the HN crowd. See enterprise development and a vast number of agencies or other companies that, together, make the bulk of the software being made and sold today where basic things like unit testing or the open/closed principle are seen as a waste of time and unnecessary.
