Work and Poker Collide, Like Always

So often, it's hard to keep the computer geek world of my job and my poker life separate. Although it's more in my own head than usual, I was struck by a book title I saw. I stopped at the bookstore to browse for an actually good book on LDAP (jury still out on this one), and browsed past a book called Ship It! right there in the middle of the computer section!
I had completely forgotten this phrase was in somewhat common used in
software. For my career, I have always worked on either internal
projects, which never “ship” in that sense, or on Open Source
and Free Software projects which effectively “constantly
ship”. I am somewhat surprised that nick_marden, who
has spent most of his career in the commercial software business,
has never pointed out this congruency of jargon.
