Amen.

I've tried convincing many companies I've worked for that weekend deployments are a bad idea over the years.

Even with continuous integration tests, rolling deployments, and all the precautions in the world things can still happen.

You need live people available to handle a deployment.

Personally, I don't like working on weekends. I've worked for companies that refused to believe that this was a bad idea. I learned pretty fast that life is too short to work on a weekend.

If something does go wrong, it's better to have people on hand to correct the error and get back on track. It's much easier to schedule those people during the work week. It's not rocket science.
