They had me until they said deploy weekly. Deployments shouldn't be an event. Deployments should happen constantly. Get your stuff into production immediately. All the other practices up to that point support that.

As someone working on a hardware project... hahahahah

We manage daily, but even that is a miracle. If you're building enterprise CRUD app #310979707 or SaaS project #2009879, sure, deploy constantly. But a very significant number of projects simply cannot do that.

Deployments depend on what you're deploying. A web app, maybe that's ok. A desktop application with automatic updates can be updated daily at most. Other products without automatic updates are probably better served with longer release cycle.

There are several comments about iOS, desktop or hardware environments that may require different release cycles. All of which are completely valid.

I see that I had assumed we were talking about web apps. This assumption narrowed my perspective, and was an error in thinking on my part.

You’re not deploying an iOS app daily. At best it’s weekly. It’s really context dependent. Weekly is still an exceedingly short clip.
