I'm not saying never learn CI/CD tooling, I'm saying don't use it until you need it. In an enterprise setting, yes it's probably a good idea to use such tools from day 1 because you don't ever want to be solely responsible for committing and shipping a bug. In other contexts, like the author's one-man website, the cost is not worth it.

You can't really say that without knowing the author's skills and how much they lose in opportunity costs to deploy manually.

If the author has already deployed 100-200 times and knows enough to set up a basic build, it would be close to break-even with a fairly wide margin.
