My experience is that shipping is boring.
If I want to ship my software, as opposed to just write it, I need to use tech that's a couple of clicks back from "bleeding edge," and spend a lot of time, "polishing the fenders."

But I get a kick out of seeing my software out there, ready to be integrated into other people's software (90% of the time, I'm my own best customer, but I write all of my software as if it were being adopted by a Fortune 50 company).
