My best colleague uses FTP-integration to save all edits directly to production.
Confronted him about it and we bought a dedicated server for development.
2 weeks later the server is dedicated to serve the API. He still asks me to develop on that server.
Great guy, great mind. He gets things done.

Made advanced tracking system, position, history, speed, allowed areas, warnings, notifications - the whole shabang.

Client is more impressed by form converting hours and minutes into decimals.

Sigh.
