alt Hacker News> You also need to build a team that you can trust to write the code you agreed you'd write
I tell every hire new and old “Hey do your thing, we trust you. Btw we have your phone number. Thanks”
Works like a charm. People even go out of their way to write tests for things that are hard to verify manually. And they verify manually what’s hard to write tests for.
The other side of this is building safety nets. Takes ~10min to revert a bad deploy.

That's cool. Expect to pay me for the availability outside work hours. And extra when I'm actually called

Does it? Reverting a bad deploy is not only about running the previous version.
Did you mess up data? Did you take actions on third party services that that need to be reverted? Did it have legal reprecursions?
