Super efficient? Just upload content to production. I remember at my first job they pressed an "up" arrow button once content looked good in their browsers.

Super duper efficient? Develop on prod.

We (3 of us) develop on prod constantly. It does break a lot and the ~200 users we have kept complaining at first, but they've gotten used to it.

Could you elaborate on the up arrow button?

It was a little Web IDE with an "up" arrow. It would send the file to a website by ftp. I forget the name it was so long ago.

I remember Macromedia Dreamweaver had a down arrow (download) and a up arrow (upload) through FTP it felt magical on those days.
