This is rarely ever the developer and more a business stakeholder forcing you to push the Friday deploy button.
I've had somebody in the business escalating to my team lead, head of development and CIO because i flat out refused to deploy something on Friday at 16h.
So no. This is not the developer making a hard choice. There should be somebody coercing or forcing him to push the deploy button.
I'll go along with a Friday deploy. But I ly after I have it in writing that the first time I'm opening the laptop is Monday at 8:00a. If Business is okay with that risk, tell me to mash the button.
