I don't even think "right now" fixes necessarily indicate a problem in development approach. Sometimes unexpected things happen and you need a way to fix them quickly, without being bogged down by infrastructure.

A great example of this is using a production repl. It even served Nasa well (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17253459/what-exactly-ha...). Having to change your system on-the-fly is not always an indication of a poorly developed or managed system.



If the rate of unexpected things is "sometimes" and not "very rarely" it probably does indicate that there are problems with development, build process or something else in the infrastructure.

Most of us are building CRUD apps not sending people to the moon.
