Today I had a pissing contest with an account director coz she asked a junior dev to upload some code to live site without testing!!! You may own the business, but you have no powers here. my servers my rules.

You were right. When it breaks you will have to fix it.

If a programmer would try that in my company, he'd be thrown out. Boss' company, boss' servers (he is technical af)

the way I see it, if a bug crushed the db I'd be fired anyway so... YOU SHALL NOT PASS.

CI server
+ commit validation plugin
+ test coverage analysis
+ automatic deployment plan
+ configurable error messages

= 'YOU SHALL NOT PASS'
(and lots of annoying e-mails)

haven't had a discussion in months. i just let my servers do the talking... ;)

So much yes

@arminiae I wish my company would invest time in this. It was hard enough getting them on board for git
