Over a long enough time, with enough deployments, unlikely things are guaranteed to happen! In the long run, setting a given feature loose on Monday instead of Friday is unlikely to move the needle in terms of business results, and eliminates a category of risk. I'm not superstitious about much, but No Friday Deployments is one of my rules

I agree. We have some advocates that really want to say we deploy on Friday, but even they don’t seem super pushy about a Friday deployment when they have weekend plans, and the org as a whole isn’t keen either. It’s high risk and low reward. I’ve also burned myself on this more than once.
