Shipping
Noun · Hacker Culture
Definitions
The act of actually releasing a feature, product, or update to users rather than only planning or prototyping it. In product and engineering culture, 'shipping' is often treated as the real proof that work mattered.
In plain English: Actually releasing something to users instead of just talking about it.
Example: "The team got much better once it optimized for shipping instead of endlessly polishing internal demos."
