You just don't deploy something major the first day after a 2 weeks vacation, it does not makes any sense.

- matsemann 6y agoWhy? I had a rewrite of some core logic the last day before Christmas that I didn'td deploy, as it wasn't time critical to get out and I didn't want to be disturbed during holidays. Today it was perfect to deploy, as I can watch it the whole week if needed.
- devilduck 6y agolol Good Luck!!
- hacky_engineer 6y agoYeah, I do this all the time. I don't want to be bothered on the weekend, so I push releases at the beginning of the week when possible.
- kords 6y agoSame, I would rather release on a Monday than a Friday.
- johnmaguire2013 6y agoWell, I think it probably depends on where you work. At my work, people just took 2-3 weeks of time off. It takes a moment to get your head back in the game.
- beamatronic 6y agoIt depends on the goal you’re trying to accomplish. Are you going for a promotion or bonus? Or instead is your goal to maximize uptime?
- adambyrtek 6y agoI doubt that regularly releasing breaking changes that reduce uptime is a good strategy to get a bonus or promotion.
- iso1631 6y agoAssume promotion after releasing 10 changes Releasing 1 change a year with a 100% chance of working -- no promotion for 10 years Releasing 10 changes a year each with a 10% chance of breaking something -- 1 in 3 chance of promotion in a year, and a 2 in 3 chance of downtime
- adambyrtek 6y ago> Assume promotion after releasing 10 changes Where did that assumption come from? Also are you claiming that it takes 10x more time to release a non-breaking change?
- adrianpike 6y agoEverywhere I've worked often has a massive backlog of things that get released after a moratorium or extended holiday week. Those are usually the worst weeks to be oncall since things are under so much churn.
- londons_explore 6y ago8am in the first day is too early... But by 10am, after catching up on emails, it's totally time to start releasing stuff.
