> I think if you're afraid to ship after 4pm, then you should write better code and/or test it better. There are things I'm afraid to do late (say upgrading 3rd party software), but shipping a new version of my software? Don't see why not. Your wording seems to indicate that you work by yourself. That's fine, but things change when large teams and systems are involved. You can't vouch for every single change or the inter-dependencies between all systems. It's pretty elitist too. "Your code only breaks because you suck" doesn't make for good software engineering practices. Everyone makes mistakes.
