Coding Shipping

As developers, we’re trained to perfect things:
clean architecture, elegant abstractions, scalability from day one…

But real progress comes from shipping.

Shipping forces you to learn:
— What users actually care about
— Which bugs really matter
— How to prioritize under pressure
— How to tell a story
— How to market what you made

Unreleased code solves nothing.

AI will soon write great code for everyone.
But it won’t make brave decisions for you.

So ship the rough edges.
Ship the ugly version.
Ship the version that makes you nervous.

You’ll learn 10× faster.

What’s one project you want to ship in the next 7 days?
