Maybe you didn't read to the end, last sentence: "And finally, a useful
if-all-else-fails suggestion from another experienced practitioner:
Outlast bad management". ;-)
More seriously, there's obviously no quick fix for bad/clueless/toxic
management. Not profound ideas, but do the
best you can under the circumstances, (try to) understand why things are
the way they are, (try to) communicate and inculcate best practices,
(try to) change jobs, retire.

A couple of comments.
Sometimes there are institutional obstacles to practices that would be
otherwise desirable, e.g., management that opposes code reviews,
organizations that compartmentalize. What are the strategies for
dealing with those?
Reminiscing is not always nostalgia; sometimes it is horror stories
about "the good old days."
