Yup. Time and time again, the MVP ends up becoming the full production version with zero improvements.

I'm glad I moved into hardware development.

It doesn't matter, but does your post here mean:

"So, funny thing about software prototypes."

or

"SO FUNNY thing about software prototypes."

Either is valid, but it struck me that I couldn't exactly divine your intent.

Yeah I read it as the latter myself.

If the MVP stays in production without further investment, then it's the product, there's nothing minimal about it. That's a decision.

If a prototype or PoC is in production though, something's gone wrong. I build my prototypes and PoCs in such a way that they literally can't be in production, which is I think the correct way to build a PoC anyway.
