Yep. When I was still doing QA, I saw some pretty terrible practices and tested code that barely built. Now as a software engineer, I have no QA and rely heavily on my own testing practices, namely, unit testing first, integration testing and system/e2e testing. I can't guarantee the code is bug free and there's parts I know that could be refactored (tech debt), but I know each piece is tested and does what I expect it to. As corny as it sounds, I'm a big fan of TDD. Unit/IT/E2E don't replace QA in my opinion, but better set QA up to focus on the bugs that matter and not basic stuff.
