   @thomasfuchs What's it called when you just edit prod files on the fly because it's just your tiny personal site and you're too out of touch and disorganized to operate any kind of web dev workflow.

     @hp @thomasfuchs I've worked at several places that did that. And, dealt with the resulting fallout.

     There's also the nuke and replace method that never goes horribly wrong.

     Also had to deal with the git/svn directory deployment method. Because, of course, there's nothing on those hidden .git or .subversion directories that is at all sensitive.

     @thomasfuchs This is probably a dumb question, but how else would you do it? Just dump files into your live directory and hope for the best?

     There's obviously containers now one could use, but clearly this "buildless" thing suggests that that's not how they are deploying?

     I'm so confused.
