Actual new method: dev logs in to production server, changes something live as part of a emergency / hot fix. It never gets documented anywhere.

[toomuchtodo]

I wouldn't go that far. Its documented on the system when it gets hot imaged and the image is never rebuilt from the config mgmt tool again /s

[dreamfactory2]

so not code as infrastructure and therefore precisely not devops

[icedchai]

yes, but that adhoc activity is what many (incorrectly) perceive as "devops", so still relevant.
