Ship at 80 percent

Claude Code runs on my MacBook around the clock. I’ll SSH in from my phone to check a result or merge it.

The agents stay around after the first commit. They review pull requests, simplify changes, run release steps, watch deployments, and babysit PRs.

The last 20 percent of certainty is expensive and usually useless. Ship when you’re pointed the right way, then watch the product and a real user.

When work slows down, I look for the boring reason: a blocked task, a habit meeting, fuzzy ownership, fear of an imperfect first version. More process rarely fixes it.

A small change can go straight to main. A platform with 90M users earns feature flags, staged rollouts, and proper review. Money, tax, and permissions earn stronger tests. Session replay and logs tell me what happened after it shipped.
