Nothing of that. The reason has nothing to do with "startup culture", head in the clouds buzzword crap, quite the opposite.

The changes are pushed and working in staging, the tests are passing, Q&A is done. Why hold off? So that you get your Good Practices™ badge? I'd say it's better that you don't have to deal with last week's work on a Monday if at all possible.

I think being down to earth, and keeping your good judgement is key. I don't recommend making world-shattering changes on a Friday, but even then, well, it really depends on the circumstances.




If it's a startup the more likely scenario is no QA employees and minimal test coverage.
