alt Hacker News>to not address the root issues but just scaffold on top of them and try to hide the ugly bits under the carpet
It's totally the devs fault and not the environments devs have to work in. Deadlines forced down on you until you have to make compromises, 24/7 having to compete with people who actually don't care because you have to meet months end payments somehow. Whole businesses blinded by a tech gold rush.
>We're a clown industry.
I do agree here, but that includes every non dev person.

The people who set the deadlines are trying to stay competitive so there are contracts with clients so your salary can come from somewhere.

Time for me to drag this old chestnut back up.
You don't see the same problems in say, structural engineering as you do in software engineering. I suggest this is due to needing to go through the formal training required of a structural engineer, and membership bodies like chartered institutions, with standards and codes of ethics. We might want to reflect on that
