> It makes me mental when people want to "close their week" by deploying a change to a public-facing system. Yes it feels great to check it off your list and start your weekend. But unless you're prepared to deal with it over the weekend -- and got buy-in from the rest of your team they're prepared to deal with it -- please don't. My favorite is the deploy right before the vacation. The internal pressure is even higher in that case (the dev doesn't want anything on their mind during their vacation—totally understandable), but the outcome/cleanup is even worse—they're not there to fix their code (and possibly not even available since they might be on a plane).
