I have never found this to be a constructive 'culture'. Instead of placing blame on others or feeling guilt myself, I try to see if there's a way of improving the process itself instead of relying on people not fucking up. Because that's going to happen to everyone. Bugs are still going to happen, but if the process (be it deployment, testing/QA, dev, w/e) eliminates potential points of failure, they will be less frequent and hopefully less severe.
