The feature was approved instantly. Deployment took 3 weeks.

Not because of coding.

Because real deployments look like this:

Waiting for vendor access
Aligning with another team’s schedule
Fixing undocumented API behavior
Handling old data formats
Coordinating between operations and finance

The feature itself was small.

The environment around it was not.

This is something you learn quickly in enterprise systems. Technical work is only one part of deployment. The harder part is making everything around the system move together.
