I must have missed the mention of the big consulting firms that make TONS of money on bad government development practices. Hiring and promotion are certainly amongst the first things to fix. But you're going to have a tough time retaining decent engineers in a toxic environment, one that has been around for many, many years and is probably impossible to fix.

Yeah the poor environment can be frustrating and demoralizing. Recently I had to deal with an environment where I wasn't allowed to deploy code to the development server myself. I had to copy code to a shared drive and wait for a scheduled job to copy the files up, and it only ran every 15 minutes at best, sometimes an hour. I had to fight to get that changed but it's just indicative of the serious dysfunction in the organization.
