I am all in favor of continuous development. Program. Check-In. Build. Test. Merge to dev. Build. Test. Merge to master. Build. Test. Deploy. I have a very fancy Play Button, that does everything automatically.

But it always takes like half an hour. :))

I usually start then something else. I have many projects open. But its like....these context switches, they are draining.

So yeah, i like to go the dangerous part, deploy right away from my dev machine. But i get immediate reaction. I dont have to wait. But my mates dont like it. And so i deal with it.

That half an hour is a perfect argument for why _software_ speed matters too. Without fast software you get stuck being slow at the human parts too, ultimately reducing your potential.
