I like how you approached it here, Carlos. It's not about using typical lines like "Deploying on Fridays is bad", that's hype like being dogmatic about any technology.
Keeping the analogy of your knee, I would say if your knee hurts, you want to go to rehab and go little by little. And Friday deployment can be like jumping and running. The risk is higher if the infrastructure and team maturity are not in the right place.
But it's not black or white. Depending on the situation and how much progress the team made towards safer deployments, you can evaluate each situation as a go or a no-go for a Friday deployment
Thanks for the reflection Fran. Exactly, it's not black or white, and the message is mostly as you said that it doesn't need to be dogmatic. And with that I mean two things very aligned with your comment:
- you can evaluate each situation as a go or a no-go
- rather than taking it as a dogma and saying "everyone knows this is not possible, it is fine" you should keep reflecting (or go to rehab and go little by little) about what do you need to do to be able to run and jump in some time from now.
