I'm one-shotting AI code for my website without even looking at it. Straight to prod (well, github->cf worker). It is glorious.
I'm responding to this statement: "Nothing should go straight to prod ever, ever ever, ever."
Air Traffic Controller software - sure. 99% of other softwares around that are not mission-critical (like Facebook) just punch it to production - "move fast and break shit" has been cool way before "AI"
Even if we ignore criticality, things just get really messy and confusing if you push a bunch of broken stuff and only try to start understanding what's actually going on after it's already causing issues.
sure, they coined the term “move fast and break things”
and not every “bug” brings the system down, there is bugs after bugs after bugs in both facebook and insta being pushed to production daily, it is fine… it is (almost) always fine. if you are at a place where “deploying to production” is a “thing” you better be at some super mission-critical-lives-at-stake project or you should find another project to work on.
