Why is it bad to do on a Friday? Based on your last paragraph, I would have thought Friday is probably the best week day to do it.
Because if you roll out something to production on a friday whose there to fix it on the Saturday and Sunday if it breaks? Friday is the WORST day of the week to roll anything out. you roll out on Tuesday or Wednesday that way if something breaks you got people around to jump in and fix it.
And hence the term read-only Friday.
Most companies, money included, try to roll out updates during the middle of start of a week. That way if there are issues the full team is available to address them.
