Episode notes
CI/CD is About Feedback Loops
- The essence of CI/CD is about tightening feedback loops to de-risk the riskiest parts of development.
- Continuous deployment to customers is crucial to validate value, not just continuous building internally.

- Launch product iterations frequently to expose your work to real users early and often.
- Don't delay deployment until perfection; prioritize de-risking by validating market needs first.
