First off, we're still saying we deploy 16 days out of the month. I'm sorry that's not good enough for you? Do you want cookies from management for deploying every single day and on christmas eve? We'll host an extra pizza party in your honor (no bonuses this year, even though you did 33 deploys on Fridays). Not to mention I worked at places that deployed twice a month, or deployed once a month, only with CTO intervention, which took four+ hours and multiple devops and engineering people doing manual shit, even with Kubernetes etc. So individual engineers deploying by themselves 16 days out of the month is "manual oversight" and "poor business decision". what a joke. Also, what, a band-aid fix? I wouldn't work at a place that made me deploy major stuff on Fridays, first off. I have a life, so I'll take my bandaids, thanks. You think because people write tests and follow a spec that you can deploy MyBigFeature on a Friday without issue? absolutely not.

There are befits to small batches, short cycle time and completing at will. They are nothing do do with what management wants or rewards. I'm sorry to hear that you have only worked at places that are unaware of or unwilling to do good practices. Your commentary on the whole is defensive, ignorant, rambling, ill-tempered and borderline insulting. It lacks the basic respect necessary to engage meaningfully, rather is more likely to create conflict. No further response is needed, thanks.

I also worked at places that did small deploys daily. But we still didn't deploy on Fridays. I deploy with my own projects, to production, many times each day. But I still try to avoid Fridays. > No further response is needed, thanks. I disagree. You complain about the industry as a whole but can't deal with basic criticism to back it up.
