Ideally:

how much of this can I automate so it just purrs like a kitten for as long as possible

Realistically:

how quickly can I satisfy these stupid fucking product requirements without incurring so much tech debt that it makes my job soul-destroying?

Shouldn't it be the other way around?

I am intrigued. Could you elaborate on this with some examples?

Not the same person, but I assume they mean the release being the hypothesis (“this version will do what we want”) and people using it to be the experiments testing the hypothesis

[–] codeinabox@programming.dev 3 points 1 week ago

My understanding is that an example of a hypothesis, is that users want a feature. The experiment is putting that feature in front of users, or performing user research, which which then allows you to validate if a hypothesis is true or not.
