Depends on what specifically interviewers are looking for, but:

- You do have production experience, just not with the new software - You know the new software, and especially if it’s new, you probably know it as good as most other developers - Your prior coding experience won’t 100% transfer over to new tasks, but it won’t 0% transfer either. For example many programming languages are very similar, if you’re familiar with one general-purpose language you’re ~almost~ familiar with all of them (C++, Rust, C#, Java, Scala, Kotlin, Swift, TypeScript, etc.)
