jokes aside, this is all pretty much required functionality for mature applications

  I had not pushed a project public in a while and recently had to kick something off and I hadn't been testing fully to get things into open space. CORS/CSRF and really getting my head back in the space of SSL being properly handled took me way longer than I'm comfortable to admit. These are things that I consider myself fairly comfortable with but chops had atrophied and browser enforcement leaves less wiggle room for failure. Also static file management really tapped me in my nuts. It's really easy to think you've got it all figured out when it's just running on your local machine or a private network or to quote Mike Tyson "Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth." This experience has reinforced for me how critical getting CI/CD is to the process of taking something from a sketch pad to something that no only ships but other people can work on. Not saying that has to be a huge production, but it's just as crucial as how to post a form or connect to a data source. Looking at you JS bros that think they can cobble together an ORM that won't be a massive chore.
