Back in my day, we didn't need CI/CD, we had FTP. Real developers made changes in production.
@kelseyhightower ca. 11 years ago I used to ssh from my phone to prod servers to roll out some services... late in the evening after work... in a bar at an office party. Being a junior then I showed it to the CEO like "see, I can work from anywhere". Next day the firewall was closed. Oh I miss the old phones with pop-up physical keyboards.
