It indicates a realistic grasp on the world, and a healthy regard for work/life balance. There is no way you, or anyone, can guarantee that everything you do in the next N changes will go perfectly. There will be some aspect of drift your processes, tooling, and people all miss. We follow this rule, generally, erring towards 'no' to Friday deployments. Exceptions are made for business-as-usual work or security items with a time limit. Just make a reasonable calculated decision. What's to gain vs the risk(s). No need to be preachy and say 'fix your processes'... but I'm tempted. Mind the urgency of your widgets. Edit: looking over their profile, I get the feeling this is a bit of light gaslighting. They argue in bad faith, stretching the straw man so hard he's spread across the field. They're incentivized by a crowd of people feeling inadequate, perhaps even impressed; consequently flocking to their 'education'/consultation At the very least this reads like someone who has lead a few too many meetings and hasn't put their hands to the keyboard for anything serious in a long time.
