It’s all a trade off. We tend to avoid Friday deployments because they give us no tangible benefit while increasing the chance of an out of band issue. At a practical level, our customers literally do not notice if something ships at 4pm on a Friday or 10am on a Monday. As for velocity, we can move way way faster by risking some bad deployments. Catching bugs is an exponential time trade off. We could catch most bugs, but we’d move like molasses. Instead, we catch what’s reasonable then ship during periods where it’s likely for us to recover quickly and easily. Most companies will benefit from fastest shipping velocity at the trade off of occasional bad deployments.
