Yeah, I was that guy. We used Mercurial for way too long. I thought I'd learned my lesson, switched to Git, etc. Then I started rolling out SaltStack and turned myself back into that guy. I finally gave up when I realized I was the bottleneck on so many people's work. Went back to plain old written deployment guidance about three years ago. Now I'm looking at containerization and orchestration tooling and worrying if I'm making the same freaking mistake yet again. It's such a difficult balancing act, especially as one moves into management. I could, by fiat, mandate tooling (and do). But will I regret my possibly poor choice in 5 years? I don't know—let's find out!
