I could definitely YOLO out a change when I worked on code used by 100 people. When it was used by 10000, an error every now and then is forgivable. Now, if I make an error in a deployment I could stop 10,000,000 from using my systems. Similar outages have made newspapers. Even then, compared to FAANG scale I'm still playing with toys. The fastly outage was top story on the BBC while it was happening.
