Deploying Code on a Friday: A Nightmare

It always starts the same way.

You tell yourself,
"It’s just a small fix. One line of code. What could possibly go wrong?"

It’s Friday, 4:43 PM.
You push. You deploy. You feel like a hero.

Then the Slack notifications start.
Then the alerts go off.
Then production catches fire in three languages.

Now you’re SSH-ing into a server with one eye open, praying to the debugging gods while your weekend slowly dissolves into console.log() hell.

Moral of the story?

Deploy on Friday if you hate peace!
