From what code to write, to what language to use, to how things will integrate.

Even high level architectural decisions need to be tested in dev first.

Basically I can't see what couldn't be run through dev first?

Just because code works in dev doesn’t mean it’s going to be the right thing for production. I caught that little bastard making 1000 db queries in a loop one time, instead of taking the time to make it efficient. Technically it worked. And, because dev has no server load, it was relatively quick.
