Deploying 4x is better, but not every team can do it without sacrificing quality.

That essay was written based on 3 three pre Series A companies, which didn't have right processes in place and was struggling to ship fast enough. Weekly deploys is a first step. It's difficult to impossible to deploy more often if you don't have good tests coverage.

I feel like I didn't give enough context (I've written that essay) to the kind of projects that was used to test what is written.

1. Pre Series A companies, which didn't have strong engineering team from start and now struggle to ship. 2. Idea/Pre Seed companies, which just want to ship fast and raise funds. That kind of founder usually have 'friends & fools' budget.

1. First kind of projects usually don't have enough tests coverage to deploy safely more often. Typically I would set a goal to deploy twice a week in 6-12 months and build a plan of how to achieve that. 2. Usually I advice to not write lots of tests for the first ~6 months to focus on shipping faster. In my experience products often change dramatically during this period. But a) there are exceptions. Some domains (e.x. finance) are critical to write more tests. b) tests infrastructure are always set as part of CI/CD process, so engineers can decide and write them for area of high importance.

I agree, but they're making quite good steps now. This document also declares: `Investment according to English Law will be allowed.` The process takes time but Belarus slowly removes borders and getting better. From 2017, residents of 80+ countries (including entire EU and US) were allowed to enter Belarus without a visa for 5 days (subject to be extended even further)

We don't have oligarchs in Belarus :) Victor Prokopenia (https://www.facebook.com/viktor.prokopenya), one of the most famous investors and businessman from Belarus is the one who actually influenced these changes.

Nothing is safe. A fact, that validity period of HTP's special legal status will be extended until Jan 2049, give us some level of confidence. It won't be that easy to turn around.
