You're in the wrong job.
A developer has to keep on top of tech industry or they'll become a dinosaur early and find trouble getting work after you lose your job (just ask Java devs who steadfastly refuse to move off anything but Java 8).
Firefighting issues ("incidence response") due to lack of software engineering is not enjoyable when you've just manually deployed to production from your desktop computer and put the wrong build on that has migrated a prod db schema used by millions of people to one that isn't compatible with the rollback version of the software. And you'll be fixing it across your holiday and weekends.
There's a reason these processes are in place - and its to stop the wild west cowboyisms bringing down the company.
