One of our customers does that. It happened multiple times already that one dev fixed an issue in production, and the next regular deployment overwrote everything.

But fortunately, it's just critical infrastructure and nothing important.

When I left my last job they were using the zip file method for version control and one creative developer managed to link two versions of libc at the same time.

Software is so useful that the standard for utility is extremely low.
