I have full control of the web site, and I won’t be breaking Redgate Software entirely if I accidently do something silly.

DBA vs Developer Dynamics: Bridging the Gap with Database DevOps

Developer velocity and DBA caution are not opposing forces, they reflect two essential priorities that historically lacked a shared process.
