So you have lived your life and never have seen someone “nodding off” in public? In every city I have lived I have seen it.

That is exactly what they are doing, Americans just lack perspective and can make sense of it.

I think the largest failure is bad architecture, or that is the inability to understand architecture at all. After your vibe coded project gets larger than a prototype and you “zoom out” to try and grasp what is going on, is when you see how bad it is.
