Today I’m going to do something that is against my standards. I’m going to deploy stuff to a production environment on a friday.

Generally it’s a bad idea to deploy things in to production on fridays and some readers might wonder why. Well, do you like working weekends? Thought so. If something can go wrong with the package you’re deploying it most certainly will go wrong if you’re deploying it on a friday – it’s like asking for it!

Ah well, sometimes you just can’t choose. As I like to say: The money always wins. And by that I mean that the people in charge of the money always tend to win, and if they want the deploy on a friday they get the deploy on a friday.

If you’re in the same business as me – try to stay away from deploys on fridays if possible, but don’t break your back over it. Because that’ll be you dying, not them. =)
