On the outside it’s sold as security, but what you really get is surveillance

I’ve been doing this for the past 10 years or so. When I joined my current company a few years ago, it was one of the first things I pushed for. It made cycle times go down drastically and value is being delivered to end users at a much higher rate now.

With enough tests and automation, there is almost no reason not do on the web. On embedded or mobile platforms this might be a bit more difficult, although not entirely impossible.

The use of feature toggles also greatly enhanced our trust in being able to turn a feature off again if it turned out to be faulty somehow. Although we usually opt for patching bugs, it gives the business as a whole more confidence.

Not amateurish at all, but good questions. I’m not confident enough to answer your second question, but on your first question: yes, you can use the hosting service you already have.

Absolutely this. I didn’t have either of those, but successfully used a Windows virtual machine on my Mac to do it

41% but have only been living for just over a year

What concert is that? Know if there are still any tickets left?

Controversial opinion maybe, but: pay for your apps/subscriptions. The makers need to feed their families as well. If you don’t want to pay big corporate, or the app doesn’t offer an ad-free alternative, switch to an indie alternative instead. If you can, pay for a lifetime plan.
