I guess its a subjective thing, depending on where you have worked and with whom. I'm pretty picky where I work these days, so maybe I haven't witnessed what you are talking about. However I think these days, at the higher end of the spectrum, the general awareness of good programming practices is better than it was 25 years ago. Back then, unit testing frameworks weren't a thing, I didn't see any CI, often code repositories were zips on a file share..., patterns were barely a thing....
