> fact, it’s paradoxically often better for you if there is some kind of problem that forces a delay, for the same reason that the heroic on-call engineer who hotfixes an incident gets more credit than the careful engineer who prevents one.

I could really relate to this. Having been part of incidents, I fucking hate them and try to anticipate them with various safe deployment strategies. To leaders though it apparently seems like Im not doing anything because “nothing ever goes wrong” lol.
