How I ship projects at big tech companies

Shipping projects in a big tech company is a challenging skill that requires prioritizing the final delivery above all else. Engineers often underestimate the complexities of shipping and focus too much on technical details instead of aligning with company objectives. It is crucial to earn the trust of leadership by communicating confidently and addressing potential issues proactively. The key to successful shipping lies in anticipating problems, creating fallback plans, and deploying early to build trust and demonstrate control. Ultimately, shipping is a delicate balance of technical competency, effective communication, and the courage to make difficult decisions when necessary.
