I was in the middle of a hot fix. Our pipeline goes through Github.

That's understandable, but surely there's a way to bypass it? You need to have a breakglass procedures lol

“lol just use a workaround” doesn’t work in an environment with hundreds or thousands of employees coupled with audit, security, and other legal requirements to ship software.

If you're actually bleeding money, you better believe you'll get permissions for a workaround, if you know what you're doing.

It all ties back to the OP, where the issue you've might not be as bad as you think. I have been in situations where we have dropped all procedures to push a hot fix because we were actively bleeding money, and in situations where you know there is an issue, and you let it be.
