DEPLOYMENT ETIQUETTE

A KEY component of moving code out to production is the not only the development lifecycle, but the deployment cycle.  The Deployment Cycle should be done usually on a Friday so everyone can rest on the weekend after moving arduous text-files and hitting "F5" continuously.

Make sure none of your code is unit-testable. This way, better-qualified resources can lose time of their day and in some cases YEARS off of their lives fixing your broken-shit-excuse for code.

Also, make sure you have SA permissions to the production environment, so you can truncate any and all related tables to the process you're working on.

As far as documentation, don't worry about that until monday.
