My attention span is not nearly enough to push releases everyday, but you also need to basically own the QA team. I've worked in enough places that if I don't have a QA team handy, I assume the worst possible environment. Devs get tunnel vision, we make really dumb UI choices, or account for x, y and z scenarios as issues, and forget a, b and c, which happen when the user uses your software while holding a toaster or whatever.

This is probably why 2 weeks prints are very common, its enough time to get some things out, enough time for QA to test it, and "short enough" that nobody is hounding as to why some feature is taking months. They can at least get it in incremental pieces with 2 week sprints (or whatever you prefer, 1 week, 3 weeks, 4, doesnt matter to me, just be consistent).
