I was absolutely only speaking “in general”. Even with 20 years in the industry my experience can only be anecdotal given that I only had time to work with fewer than 10 companies. :)

That said, I suspect a bad technical decision may have people and communication causes and not fixing the problem once it is apparent is definitely rooted in these.

Technical debt and leadership vacuum are both interesting and intertwined hard problems.
