We (using general "we" here) spent so much time convincing developer that version control is good, reviewable changes are good, automated CI is good, and editing directly on the servers is bad. This was not because of some abstract ideas, but because of practical lessons about how to maintain long-lived applications.

And now there is a startup which says "let's edit directly on the servers, automated CI is not needed -- the code will always be correct, and we will add version control in the future.. maybe..."

How do you think people will react to this?
