--force-with-lease though, not just force.. It's a good habit to have because then when you are working with other people you won't fuck everything up.

Well, prod is luckily the people I have next room. I made the setup so changes get uploaded quickly. I could do branches and all that stuff?

Yeah, but i'd rather not work to work and just get it out the door. What my setup is for is that changes get pulled off the master branch and deployed without an apparent interruption of service.

I see collaboration tools just the same as abstractions, you don't use them just to use them. They need to solve a problem.

You're saying it's a problem but i'm not really reading why. While the idea of a massive button to push changes is fun having the master branch be production is a concrete idea i've grown fond of, iteration is fast, both at testing and deployment.
