There are also a lot of e-commerce agencies who just don't have their sh1t together. Was expected to work on 3 different clients a day who all had different platforms, different requirements etc. Yes, you can dump some new code into the project that looks like it's working, but then you don't have time for any unit tests, exception handling if the user won't cooperate etc. and it's basically just some dodgy, untested code that will come back a few days later with some issues related to something nobody told you about.

The other "senior" programmer in the company never set up any local environment but instead ftp'd all changes directly to the live server. I asked him if needs help to set up a local server and debugger, but instead he would just dump vars on the live server and stream the contents of error.log to his second screen to catch any issues...
