They are the best in management eyes: look, they are doing so many things. All those things are unnecessary and will need to be supported/removed in the future. The truly best are the ones that do very little indeed. We produce software, not objects. You get to save money when you use a good piece of software not when you write it. But they are seen as lazy.

Seriously, what's the "only nessessary" for most software project ? Not CI/CD, not deployment pipelines, not complicated YAML bullshits. Testing is all you need to produce bug-free software.

  Without that other stuff, (CI/CD, deployment pipelines, etc.), you’ll waste so much time manually deploying. It is very error prone, especially for those who lack knowledge of the whole system. Why not automate it?

    Those things are not rocket science, isn't it ?

      No, but I've found many developers are uncomfortable touching anything outside of their local environment.

  That's not what I was referring to. F.e. management brought on the project some senior dev. He did a minor framework update, reeplace one library with another even if nobody was complaining about anything and he was gone. None of the problems or technical debt the client was actually complaining was addressed. Oh, and he did some implementation that blocked the other devs, and we needed to work arround it.
