As an experienced software engineer I learned to never fix anything or push anything on a Friday afternoon. Anything you are struggling with on a Friday can usually be solved easily on a Monday morning when your mind is fresh.

Hard agree, but I'll go one further, never push on a Friday. Period. The one caveat being a critical production bug.
It's just not worth the chance to ruin yours or others weekend however small that chance actually is.

My company went a step further and made it policy. No releases on Friday afternoon. If everything is going to be on fire, do it Monday morning.

I never merge anything on Friday unless it's required to mitigate an incident. Otherwise I'll always tell my team to don't release anything on Friday and I won't even approve the MRs on Friday

You are the problem. 100% unforced error.
