Friday Deploy Freezes Are Exactly Like Murdering Puppies

Read Original

The article critiques the common practice of freezing deployments on Fridays. It argues that such freezes are a costly band-aid for deeper deployment anxiety, creating technical debt, wasting engineering time, and ultimately harming team morale and technical growth. The author asserts that reliable, frequent, and unremarkable deploys are the 'heartbeat' of a software company and that fear of deployment is a critical problem to solve.
