It's demonstrably worse imho out here on the west coast, the "she'll be right mate" mentality is rife here. Used to drive me crazy when I as a sysadmin. Get something barely running? Welp, great work, pats on the back, time to go home! I'd always want to test and tune things to ensure things could perform under load only to be told that "she'll be right". And she was, until things saw load and predictably crashed and people would run around like headless chooks blaming the network. Very pleased to no longer be doing that work.
