Lots of software is fun. Games are great. So is music. You're probably unaware of my contributions in both these fields, and that's okay because the world moves

Lots of software is fun. Games are great. So is music. You're probably unaware of my contributions in both these fields, and that's okay because the world moves on. But the author of the piece is clearly talking about "in production" as public-facing code with real implications to real people's lives. With scenarios like Boeing and Fujitsu Horizon popping up there's also a need for "grown up" software engineering. I don't think encouraging people into reckless development methodologies helps here. There's still room for lots of fun, if you also know when it's time to be serious.
