The launch decision
Shipping is a decision with a shape — a rollout schedule, kill criteria written before launch, an owner for the call, and a plan for the week after. This lesson builds that shape, works through the two hard cases (a deadline that arrives before the evidence, and a regression found at 25% rollout), and covers the launch questions interviewers use to find out whether you have actually shipped anything.
What you'll be able to do
- Design a staged rollout with a stated purpose for each stage
- Write kill criteria and a rollback plan before launch, and name who makes the call
- Handle a deadline that arrives before the evidence does, without either lying or missing it
- Run the week after launch: what you monitor, what you communicate, and when you declare it done

This lesson builds that shape, works through the two hard cases (a deadline that arrives before the evidence, and a regression found at 25% rollout), and covers the launch questions interviewers use to find out whether you have actually shipped anything. This walkthrough runs about 23 minutes, with runnable code you can edit and re-run as you read.
