Certainly one difference is this: if I’m developing a one-off tool, or simply in early stages of development, it’s closer to being in a driving simulator with the seatbelt unbuckled.

Not every line of code is life or death.

A new car chassis in development might well get driven around with out a body and windshield attached, slowly around a test track.
