> incorrect thinking that the way to reduce bad outcomes from software is to change it less often
This. So much this. The way you turn a bug into a "bad outcome" is to make it slower to change. If you can deploy quickly and easily, you can fix any software issue before it becomes a big problem.
TL;DR ... everyone has Jenkins but they can't just let it deploy stuff because there is tons of "professionalism theatre" bureaucracy baked into the SDLC implemented as crappy homegrown scripts that check you filled in fields in JIRA. On top of that the org likely has incorrect thinking that the way to reduce bad outcomes from software is to change it less often.
