And this is why DevOps has gained traction. Automated deployments, continuous integration, and software that functions identically whether in development env or production.

You can wax poetic about how it used to be, or complain about people being overworked all you want, but that's an issue of expectations. Personally I never want to go back to two week "integration" processes and multi-day manual deployments.

DevOps to me is an exercise in not making things more complciated than they have to be on the config/deploy side.
