> "blow up in your face (early) if you don't do it, becoming a blocker." This is something that many places, including my current consulting placement, will consider a bad thing and actively work to do the opposite. The attitude at these places is that "blowing up" is a Bad Thing, and should never happen. This causes everyone to suppress useful signals of impending problems that can be mitigated in advance. What's left is things that do "blow up" because of neglect, and are truly Bad, so it's a self-reinforcing policy. These organizations accept the decay (apt word, btw) and really Bad Things happening too frequently over diligence and preventing Bad Things from happening in the first place.
