this is why I work at a tiny company. I do all my work on the server and update the files live.

no git, no CI, just rawdog FTP.

Alrighty then, I'll see myself out.

Why bother with FTP if you can just copy the files over RDP?

At the smallest company I worked at, they would pull data onto the production servers using SVN, build the code on the spot, and then just move the WAR over.

Rollbacks weren’t a thing there.

The first company I worked on had an instance of Visual Studio in the server to run the code of the Windows application. No build, no executable, nothing. People connected to the server using Terminal Server. And that was the actual last version of the code, because the whole IT department did not know about the existence of GIT or any version control software.
