never do updates on a Friday.
Excuse me, what now? I didn't get that memo.
Yeah it's great :-) 4 10hr shifts and every weekend is a 3 day weekend
Is the 4x10 really worth the extra day off? Tbh I'm not sure it would work very well for me... I find just one 10-hour day to be kinda draining, so doing that 4 times a week every week feels like it might just cancel out any benefits of the extra day off.
I am very used to it so I don't find it draining. I tried 5x8 once and it felt more like working an extra day than getting more time in the afternoon. If that makes sense. I also start early around 7am, so I am only staying a little later than other people
Yep, anything done on Friday can enter the world on a Monday.
I don't really have any plans most weekends, but I sure as shit don't plan on spending it fixing Friday's fuckups.
And honestly, anything that can be done Monday is probably better done on Tuesday. Why start off your week by screwing stuff up?
We have a team policy to never do externally facing updates on Fridays, and we generally avoid Mondays as well unless it's urgent. Here's roughly what each day is for:
If things go sideways, we come in on Thu to straighten it out, but that almost never happens.
Actually I was not even joking. I also work in IT and have exactly the same opinion. Friday is for easy stuff!
Never update unless something is broken.
This is fine as long as you politely ask everyone on the Internet to slow down and stop exploiting new vulnerabilities.
I think vulnerabilities found count as "something broken" and chap you replied to simply did not think that far ahead hahah
For real - A cyber security company should basically always be pushing out updates.
Exactly. You don't know what the vulnerabilities are, but the vendors pushing out updates typically do. So stay on top of updates to limit the attack surface.
Major releases can wait, security updates should be pushed as soon as they can be proven to not break prod.

git push --force
leans back in chair productive day, productive day indeed
git commit -am "Fixed" && git push --forceThat's advice so smart you're guaranteed to have massive security holes.
This is AV, and even possible that it is part of definitions (for example some windows file deleted as false positive). You update those daily.
You posted this 14 hours ago, which would have made it 4:30 am in Austin, Texas where Cloudstrike is based. You may have felt the effect on Friday, but it's extremely likely that the person who made the change did it late on a Thursday.
