I always tell my team that we should be able to build and deploy from our laptops. That we should make sure we don't bake our build/deployment into third party systems, so we're still able to do things when they have outages and can move to a different one if they become unreasonably priced etc.

But that we SHOULDN'T be doing those builds/deploys from our laptops UNLESS it's an emergency. Almost no dev needs a key for the whole production infrastructure sitting on their laptop, they don't need a production DB superuser. They should know how to get access to things when needed, but embrace the safety of not being able to accidently kill something important.

I love having the power to destroy a whole companies offering at my fingertips, but the terror of running a command and realising you're doing it by accident is just not worth it.
