Yup, we haven't fully automated our production push yet, but it is pretty nice to get a complete, simulated QA push (which normally occurs weekly), every day. Catching problems early is always better. Now, just waiting on my priority tasks to die down this quarter so I can work on further automation of our deployment process. :)

Yup, I work for a company in Seattle and we use Jenkins CI. It's a pretty awesome product and we use it to release our software weekly. We use it to run full test deployments daily. Continuous Integration / deployment is a beautiful thing. It makes us much less afraid of actually updating our software.

Lame, I logged in and totally replied to the wrong comment. :(

I'm a database engineer (software developer) at Microsoft, and I never finished a degree. I started out as a contractor and got hired on after my last contract was up. To me, a degree doesn't make a bit of difference. It's someone's experience and problem-solving skills that matter to me. A degree doesn't make someone a better or worse employee, there are plenty of idiots with or without a degree. All of that being said, there have been some times where it has been harder to get my foot in the door. When it came down to it, I've done just fine.
