I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. I've seen deployments on a Friday when everyone had weekend plans. I've seen CI git failures with 502 bad gateway. All these moments will be lost in time. Like tears in rain. Time for the pub.
- rmwaite 3y agoI feel the same way every time this “you should be able to deploy on a Friday” topic comes up. These are peoples lives. Yes - ideally, a Friday deployment should be safe. But if it isn’t? You just ruined a small slice of a lot of people’s lives. And for what? Stubbornness.
