Timelines are hard because even if software is released for production, it still depends on network effect of adoption which can be unpredictable.

She didn't give a timeline, she ignored the question entirely.

Does something else need to happen on the actual Bitcoin network for Lighting to work or is it just a matter of polishing the current implementations? If I had magical superhuman programming powers could I deploy my own implementation to the mainnet tomorrow?

Exactly what I was asking to myself. We need a timeline. At least the core team should give a tentative schedule. New investors are losing patience.
