I've gone through a few recruiter screens lately and the number of people who mention "number of deploys per day" as a metric they are proud of causes my eyes to roll.

What can you possibly be doing as a product that justifies you releasing 60 times in a working day?

It's certainly better than the old models of releasing on a quarterly cadence with the test team and all that, but it feels like the metric has become the goal when you are releasing that often.
