Write unsafe code wrapped in layers of those advanced features that half the team didn't even know existed, and push it into production.

The difference is that your co-workers sign on their own work -- if it breaks, it's their responsibility. If you commit some code, and it breaks, it's on you, no matter which fancy tool you …
