never ship on fridays #3

The blog post discusses the common software development practice of avoiding releases on Fridays, highlighting both pros and cons of this approach. It notes that releasing on Fridays often pressures developers to rush tasks, which can lead to compromised quality and necessitate weekend work to fix issues, causing burnout. Despite this, some, like Allen Holub, argue that avoiding Friday releases suggests inadequate code quality, though the author believes this view is overly dogmatic. The author emphasizes the importance of setting team expectations and values minimizing weekend disruptions, suggesting that if there's no urgent business need, it's better to postpone significant releases to Mondays to protect developers' personal time.
