We are all testing in prod whether we observe the results or not.

That is, once you’ve shipped code. It’s live and getting used whether by you or someone else.

Of course you should do a ton of testing before you get to prod. But once there, you may as well be your own worse user before someone else can while you’re asleep.

Production use is the gamma testing phase, or Delta if you give clients a UAT release first. As with any test environment you should observe closely.
