I am about to do the unthinkable.
I am going to a place no dev wants to go.
I am about to take an unhinged decision everyone would warn me against.
I am about to cause a change to my future, whether good or bad I guess I'll find out.

But what I do know, is YOLO.

I'm deploying to production on Friday just half an hour before I log off for the day and come back on Monday.

Wish me luck. I'm gonna need it.

    i only do this when our customer insists on doing this.

    and there usually nothing ever goes wrong.

    at least in our part of the project, that is.

    But you've tested it, so what's the problem?

    Production may always spontaneously catch fire.

    You only deploy Friday if client insists so much and

    A) they can live with outages til Monday (99% of cases)

    B) they are paying me the extremely hefty premium their hubris commands.

    @CoreFusionX + weekend rates are higher if you have no plans

    Hmm, if I happened to have plans then it'd have to be three premiums, I reckon.

    Exhaustion.

    Reason I forbid it from thursday afternoon to friday.

    If you fuck up the deployment, chance is really low that you can fix it without creating a bigger mess after a 4 day week, even less a 5 day week.

    I think the place no dev would ever want to go would be "and now I'm gonna be a marketing exec! How do I drain my knowledge of which number is bigger?"
    But deploying on a Friday is a close second in most of the world, if you do not work on Saturdays.
