"In workplaces, time is always at a premium. Things move fast, and customers don't like waiting for new features or fixes. Suitably then, much time and mental power are dedicated to producing high-quality apps that look and feel great. The actual code demands so much attention that sometimes, thinking about how we actually get that code into different environments like testing or production can take a back seat."
"Normally, at my big, important, fancy day job as a Senior Software Developer, there are a bunch of checks and balances that go into the code that I publish. People look at what I write and grimace (They don't think it's bad - they're just thinking - or so they tell me). Then people test it, it gets release approval, and then it finally gets deployed."
Time pressure in workplaces causes developers to prioritize writing application code and features over deployment and environment management. Releasing updates without proper deployment processes leads to repeated manual steps, wasted hours, and reduced reliability. A simple fix can cause unresponsive apps when deployed without checks, making rollback capabilities essential. Continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) enable quick rollbacks and safer deployments. Professional teams use peer review, testing, and release approval, which many side projects lack, resulting in more frequent faulty updates. Implementing CI/CD and automated checks mitigates risk and preserves time and reliability.
