This has been my experience, building anything; especially shipping anything.
In my experience, shipping is orders of magnitude more involved than authoring.
There's ten million stupid little details, that pop up when least convenient. Experience has taught me to anticipate these details. Many times, they should be mitigated from the very start (security and localization are good examples).
That's why I tend to write every one of my projects -even "farting around" ones- as if they were shipping products.
Keeps me in practice.
Also, this is one of the areas where it really pays to have experienced engineers.
