This is a great way to encourage your devs to jump ship as soon as anything even a little better comes up.

It's trendy to act like devs are fungible resources or that AI will replace them, but the truth is that hiring smart people, paying them lots of money, and then forcing them to spend half their time dealing with prod issues that they're not empowered to fix is a staggering waste of resources.

Since deployment or testing issues are mostly invisible to upper management (who never have to spend half of THEIR time fixing them) this doesn't come with any recognition or promotions, so the only thing left to absorb the impact is morale and goodwill towards the company.

Sadly, engineer-driven companies are increasingly rare.
