Yes, and I understood his point because, as a business-minded software engineer, I can map the edit-run-test-debug process to what he calls a tight loop (the Maths Test).

I also recognise the fuzzier process of designing features with stakeholders, implementing them, deploying them and having them tested in the market as something between the Rocket Launch (for the technical process from ideation to deployment and subsequent maintenance) and Stock Picking (for the product/market fit).
