> Also, really important, going "old-school" doesn't free you to have a full stage environment, and a well thought and fault-resistant architecture and good backups. Of course! We have a full stage environment, good backups, etc. And I'm not willing to lose them. I've worked once in a company where a senior developer dropped a couple of tables on production, back in 2008. They made backups but never tested them. Turns out that for some reason they were zero-sized. I'm testing all my backups since, so they're good :)
