This is the complete opposite of my experience. We deploy new code to production 10 times per day and change configuration a couple of times per month.

What do you keep in configuration that changes this often?

Well, it depends on internal projects vs external ones. Internal ones might work as you described. External ones will have many more deployments than code changes for a given module.

Agreed. I always worked with internal project so it didn't cross my mind.
