Agreed — also I’m generally against prototyping stuff and then entirely rewriting it for production as the default approach. It’s a nice idea but nobody ever actually rewrites it (or they do and it’s exceedingly painful). In true research it makes sense, but very little of what engineers do falls under that category. Instead, it’s either “welp, pushed this to prod and got promoted and it’s someone else’s problem” or “sorry, this valuable thing is too complex to do right but this cool demo got me promoted...”
