"We only have two environments: our laptops, and production. Once we merge into the main branch, it will be immediately deployed to production."

Maybe my reading skills have completely vanished but to me, this exactly says they deploy directly from their developers' laptops to production. Those are literally the words used. The rest of the article goes on to defend not having a pre production environment.

They literally detail how they deploy from their laptops to production with no other environments and make arguments for why that's a good thing.

It says they "merge into the main branch" and it will be immediately deployed to production presumably via CI/CD system that detects code changes and does the necessary dirty dance.
