Why I ship on Fridays anyway

A short defense of the unfashionable habit of pushing to prod before the weekend.

The "never deploy on Friday" meme is a code smell about your deployment system, not a wisdom of the elders. If you're scared of Friday deploys, you're really telling on yourself: your rollback is slow, your alerts are noisy, your tests are weak.

Fix the system, then ship whenever you want.
