I don't think developers want to listen, either. After all, improving basic practices doesn't directly translate to whiz-bang projects on the portfolio. But learning a hot new framework and making a demo in it - they'll drop everything to do that. Likewise, becoming "certified" in a buzzword methodology.

Generally, I see pressure for best practices coming from the bottom more than the top. The developers know having no tests is crap and complain. Improving basic practices DOES directly translate to successful projects, and many developers at start-ups have options so they care about such things.
