Best practices is something you learn over time, as you gain experience. I don't think there is a lack of best practices, it's just that there are always developers learning and gaining experience and before a best practice to make sense to them they have to do it wrong first. I.e. knowing the rules of chess doesn't make you a chess master. As I mature as a developer I notice that it takes more and more time for me to finish something. When I was younger I simply wasn't aware of half the stuff that could go wrong. Now I'm older and I am aware I find myself taking more and more time to implement something and spend a lot more time on e.g. clean interfaces and error handling. Something I simply didn't do many many years ago.
