> I'm as guilty of this as anyone else in the past, although I try to restrain myself now, but I'm constantly amazed at people who want to wade in with a hot take on practices and processes off the back of next to no information. I’m going to go based on the information posted. If someone posts that they’re deploying on Friday with no other information, I’m going to tell them the sensible thing, to not do it. I’m not going to come up with a million and one excuses about why they could be justified in doing it, I’m going to tell them not to unless they provide the justification. Sorry, not sorry. It’s not perfectly valid for the vast majority of cases. You coming up with (frankly, extreme, and in most cases far from extenuating) edge cases in no way invalidates my point. Deploying on what is generally considered the end of a work week, without extenuating circumstances described, is going to elicit the same reaction. Because it’s the appropriate reaction to someone doing a risky thing after hours at the end of a week. Your examples hardly even justify deploying outside of work hours. A scrappy startup or side business should not employ the shittiest of practices this early as it will only lead to these shitty practices being ingrained down the line. Almost every culture has shifted to the Western system and at best has Friday/Saturday as weekend, and even if weekends are the most important time for a business, it does not somehow justify deploying right before the start of that busy time when most people will not be working. There’s many things you should be doing at 9PM before your busiest time of the week, and deploying ain’t it. > I'm not sure if Thursday/Friday is still a norm in any Muslim countries these days It’s not, but you consider deploying on a weekend to be more sensible? Ok, sure Jan. > But, no, GP decided to lead with, "It’s late night Friday. Don’t." which I think is pretty arrogant, and to be discouraged. As I pointed out, we really don't know what's going on here, and deploying on a Friday might be a perfectly valid thing to do. Quite frankly, I don’t give a shit if a random person on the internet thinks it’s arrogant. Go off sis, you do you. I’m going to continue telling someone that wants to deploy on a Friday not to.
