And on what grounds/experience can you so quickly hand-wave all code that doesn't ship on Fridays as "shit"? This is lacking in nuance that anyone with experience would otherwise have.
Bugs happen. Sometimes bugs take a day or two to surface and aren't caught in dev/QA.
I would suspect there is a planning issue somewhere if an engineering team is brought to a standstill if they prefer not to ship on 1 workday of the week.
We save boring work for Fridays. We knock out quality-of-life patches/scripts/cleanup tasks. We'll review external and internal docs. We'll even explicitly verify the functionality of sufficiently large features, which has saved us a few times. Friday is our day to do tasks that improve quality.
I've seen enough weekends saved by not deploying on Fridays for me to be skeptical of any contrarian dogma that demands it's universal removal.
