Another system rebuilds nightly only if code changes, publishing to a QC location. QC gives it a quick review (we are talking website here, QC is "text looks good and nothing looks weird"), clicks a button to approve, and it gets published the following night.

I've had hardware (again, black box system) where I was able to leverage git because it was the only command exposed. Aka, the command they forgot to lock down and are using to update their device. Their intent was to sneakernet a thumb drive over to it for updates, I believe in sneaker longevity and wanted to work around that.

So you should know how to navigate your way around in FTP, it's a good thing! But I'd also recommend learning about all the other ways as well, it can help in the future.

Not to rub it in, but in my forties could be read as almost the entirety of the modern web was developed during my adulthood.

It could, but I'm in my early 40s.

I just started early with a TI-99/4A, then a 286, before building my own p133.

So the "World Wide Web!" posters were there for me in middle school.

Still old lol
