Big releases are scary because so much changes at once. Small ones are boring, which is the goal. Shipped While the Kettle Boiled is the pleasure of a change that goes out in the time it takes to make tea: a short diff, green checks, a deploy and a dashboard that stays flat.

Speed like this is the output of preparation. Automated tests, a pipeline nobody hand-edits, feature flags and a rollback you have actually practiced. Make each change small enough to explain in a sentence and reverse in a minute.
