+
+Does your team really do CI/CD (continuous integration and delivery)?
+
+I recently watched a recording of a talk from another daily emailer, [Jonathan Hall](https://jhall.io), who started by asking the audience to raise their hands and keep them raised if...
+
+* They did a release to production in the last week.
+* They did a release to production yesterday.
+* They do not have a permanent branch called `develop`.
+* They do not have a special "hotfix" procedure.
+* Every Developer on their team merged work into `main` yesterday.
+* They have no pull requests more than 24 hours old.
+
+## CI/CD is about process
+
+This is an excellent way to highlight that CI/CD is about processes, not technologies.
+
+Continuous integration is about how often everyone merges and pushes their changes, and continuous delivery and deployment is how you create releasable software and how long it takes for a change to get into production - not whether or not you use GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI or Jenkins.
