means Shipping means actually putting the thing out into the world — releasing a product, feature, or piece of work instead of perpetually polishing it in private.

from From Old English 'scip' (ship/boat), which gave rise to the verb 'to ship' meaning to send goods by vessel. By the 19th century it had broadened to cover sending freight by any means, not just sea. Software and startup culture later seized the word, repurposing 'shipping' to mean releasing a finished product to users — carrying the old cargo sense into a new world where the cargo is code, not crates.
