Shipping *is* a Feature

I once received a wall clock with these words : “Shipping is a feature”

I don’t remember what happened to the clock. Maybe I should have kept it around.

Sometimes remembering that you need to ship your code is enough to give you a well-needed push. Good UI, architecture, testability are all necessary… but it’s easy to push too far. Sometimes you have to go with ‘good enough’ and ship.
