It is depressing and infuriating.

I can't count the number of times I've told people (with the research and analysis to back it up) that something will fail early and spectacularly and then been disregarded. It doesn't seem to matter if it's a small effort to mitigate up front or the cost of the failure would be particularly high.

In my current and past situations I haven't had the power to force the right thing to happen. That's the core of what I want to change about my career. Move up to a lead or CTO spot, join a team where engineering is part of the culture, or just start my own company where that shit won't fly.
