A script that completes is not the same as a job that’s done. The honest test: could the least practised person on the team run this today? Every time we’d have to say “well, except when” — that’s the remaining work, still unwritten.
What it says
It runs perfectly, and it’s still not finished.
Finished means someone else can run it without us.
The real test is handing it to the least practised person.
That forces us to write down every judgement call.
For work we’ll always own ourselves, that hardening may never pay itself back.
So the question stops being whether it completes.
