Are you even a real programmer if you haven't fixed a prod critical but in notepad++ because your ide won't open for whatever reason?

I've done critical fixes (usually config) direct on a prod server with vim over ssh before now. Not the best way to do it but sometimes waiting for CI will just take too long...

Old school "CI/CD" was an FTP server where you dropped DLLs into I remember

I once fixed an important bug by force-pushing on the master branch (I was an admin too and could do it). I had 5 minutes to fix it, and no one was aware of it. I didn't ask for permission but I was sweating a lot.

I've lost track of the number of Report Builder files I've had to update via Notepad++ - the intended editor has so many weird kinks and corner cases it's often easier to just edit the file directly!
