I know this is a tongue in cheek casual comment, but this article is a really good and important counterpoint: https://charity.wtf/2019/05/01/friday-deploy-freezes-are-exa...

I hate how people hear "read only friday" and decide to turn it into a CI/CD dick measuring contest.

For "read only friday" to have been a novel idea in the first place, you needed a starting point where conventional practice already was making changes live without stopping to consider the time/day of week.

I really suspect the detractors represent a workflow that would break (or at least introduce pain) if unable to push to production for a few days. So they have to give the hard sell on the benefits of continuous deployment.
