give any developer that power?

Fun fact: giving developers access to production deployments violates FedRAMP and like half a dozen other compliance regimes SOC2/IRAP/ISMAP/G-Cloud/BSI C5/...

    But it doesn't mean it isn't incredibly common. Especially with "DevOps" where the developers are pushed to handle literally every aspect.

    IMO DevOps was always a stupid idea. Impedance mismatch.

    Developers who are really good at designing complex enterprise-level shit need days-to-weeks of uninterrupted time to think and experiment. Please, skip the daily stand-up until you've figured out how to fix

    Coders who are good at fixing bugs or adding a new menu item need a few hours or a day uninterrupted. Daily stand-up, should have closed yesterday's ticket or have hit a real roadblock with it.

    Ops IT people are fixing like 4 fires at the literal same time, they are lucky to get minutes of uninterrupted thinking time. It's about managing rate of tickets per day, and in contrast going full CAPA when there's a significant outage.

    Just... totally different workflows, personalities, and management

    I totally agree. I think it stems from Ops people that are angry at developers for building bad software. Theoretically making devs responsible for their deployments would make them care more about the quality, but really it just splits their focus and now they make bad software and provide poor ops.
