beware of font choices in chat apps; a coworker joked in the room that "well, sure, of course it's okay to update in production in the middle of the day" and for some reason, the other coworker didn't see the quotes because of the weird font they use, and also didn't stop to think, and went ahead and ran the deployment script. In production. In the middle of the day. With active users.

The good news is that those folks who logged back in got to use the new version a whole lot earlier than anyone was expecting. :\

    It actually should be no problem to deploy at any time. With a good quality control and a good ci workflow this is possible.

    It just gets tricky if you change something in your persistence layer.

    Also: some brilliant people just cannot understand sarcasm.
