Then your code wasn't version controlled and reviewed. I had a similar request for Google Tags and I explained my concerns to my CTO and voila, no Google Tags

  In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are not.

  It depends on the market pressure and resources you have. Low pressure, many resources (money) => Review/Implement all Google Tags changes High pressure, low resources (money) => Marketing can do their own thing to reduce pressure on the development team. HM and LL are somewhere in between. Classic trade off like most of the things in software development.

    > High pressure, low resources (money) => Marketing can do their own thing to reduce pressure on the development team. "Marketing can do their own thing" makes for more work and pressure on the development team. "Why doesn't this work in production?" "Why is this slow in production?" Nobody gets to skip CI, or work without coordination.

      You're experiences differ from mine. "Why doesn't this work in production?" -> "Because Marketing screwed up, look at this dashboard screenshot" "Why is this slow in production?" -> "Because Marketing screwed up, look at this dashboard screenshot" After some time "Marketing can't handle this technical stuff [....]" -> "We can take over, we need 3 more people for that" "We don't have the money" -> "Then we will not release Mega-feature-X".

    The kicker for me is that they expect you to act like they're doing you a favor and reducing your workload. Sorry, your next release is delayed because your previous attempt at "helping" is screwing things up.
