They also knew that until code is in production, no value is actually being generated, because it’s merely wip stuck in the system. He kept reducing the batch size, enabling fast feature flow.

That enabled him to create a one-step environment creation and deploy procedure, just like we figured out a way to do one-step painting and curing.
