    Lets get one thing straight.

    This is rarely ever the developer and more a business stakeholder forcing you to push the Friday deploy button.

    I’ve had somebody in the business escalating to my team lead, head of development and CIO because i flat out refused to deploy something on Friday at 16h.

    So no. This is not the developer making a hard choice. There should be somebody coercing or forcing him to push the deploy button.

      I’ll go along with a Friday deploy. But I ly after I have it in writing that the first time I’m opening the laptop is Monday at 8:00a. If Business is okay with that risk, tell me to mash the button.

      Yes. Tuesday is the superior day.

      You’ve gotten over the jarring shock of Monday, and nothing is happening in your life on a Tuesday night after COB.

    We never make minor production changes on Fridays or right before holidays. It is always a bad move because if you get into trouble your odds of not being able to teach the necessary resources are greatly increased.

    Major production changes are only done during a scheduled downtime which is planned well in advance to make sure everyone is available, including third party vendors.

      and on the other side is game dev, where it is kind of expected to get content before weekend…and the reason they are paid well, right? right? >_>
