I notice the same pattern on an infrastructural level.
If I work on a test system, or a system a small number of people depend on... a year or two ago this would've hurt my pride, but why spend 4 hours planning a change, if you can just muddle through problems in 2 hours. The user impact will be none or low based on the assumption, so move quickly, break things, fix things, document the problems and fixes. Everything's good.
Yet, I also have systems a dozen teams or more rely upon. For these systems, we have to move much slower and more deliberate. We cannot touch some of our database with larger changes, unless we have a way in, a way out, and a prediction how long all of these take, as well as announcement to the customers, and so on, and so on. We'd love to update those faster, but it's rough.
