Not limiting access to production. It’s both an operational and technical decision because it results in inadequate tooling and specials. A service I know well had an issue, and as a result they started doing what modern services do - nuking things going it will clear as clean versions come up. But unknown to the ops team, they nuked a bunch of custom stuff that no one knew how to build or really what they contained. Developers with direct access to production had rolled them out. 7 days of partial outage later they covered this up by hiding parts of the app until they could straighten things out.
