I welcome others to share stories of the normalization of deviance in their companies.
One company I worked had no unit tests, no infrastructure as code, and no build server. This held strong for a while until enough developers implemented some unit tests, infrastructure as code (e.g. terraform), and a build server as skunkworks projects. Eventually management tolerated them, but never endorsed them. Some teams at the company still never embraced good practices because it wasn't forced on them.
I guess I've never worked at a company that valued unit tests across the whole of the engineering team. I introduced them and implemented them on my own team, but others ignored it.
