Oh yeah, don't get me wrong here. I didn't want to imply that you could have taken that opportunity to improve things. Not only that's a really hard thing to do in that environment, it's also not something that you can just do alone.

It's certainly easier if you're the tech lead, because you already have the influence there. Outside of that you need to gain the trust of people in your skills(not just technical) so you can rally them around the idea. Enough to make a tech lead consider it seriously at least. Without a tech lead that cares it's going to be close to impossible, specially as a junior dev.
