As an ops-sided person, this is the exact reason why ops folks always said no to releases on a Friday afternoon.
Ops people would rather be in the pub enjoying their bug free weekend by not risking pushing buggy broken code from developers, in spite of the desperate pleas and guarantees that this batch of code is *definitely* bug free. Last week was just a one-off. Honest. We swear.
EDIT: In the old style of Ops team versus Dev team versus Infra team versus everyone else.

- dijksterhuis 5y agoYou've completely missed the point of what I was saying and/or are unwilling to see what my point was. That will only work if you never need to release anything over a weekend... and some of us actually need/want to be able to do that -- safely. As a result we work in a different team structure, with different tooling to mitigate risks and we share the responsibility as best we can (no, not everyone is expected to be 24/7 on call for production).
