I think it very much depends on the type of product and organisation you have: if that's some customer-facing application and you don't have an horde of on-call engineers, it's better to avoid this. On the countrary, if that's an internal tool or a developer platform where the primary users won't even be online over the weekend, a Friday deployment acts as a "soft launch".
In addition, why tempt the Universe on a Friday when we have four other magnificent days to break things? :D

You need to tell me yours!
