The situations such as improving package management in python is a problem but fundamentally in any software stack you will eventually find bad code. Especially as the code base gets larger and people move on. Instead you can try to fight it by teaching the rest of the group how to write more idiomatic code but that only goes so far. Also training and documentation can go out the window when the objective is to ship something that works once.
