In my time as an engineer, nothing ever went wrong from my making people wait for quality work. Speed is an illusion, because I saved everyone a lot of time on net because I didn't have to deal with nearly as many long term issues and snafus as my coworkers did.
Go fast, break things, and spend the rest of your life paying for it. Or just don't do that.
Few.
Every time I've taken a shortcut I've ended up regretting it.
I wish more people saw it this way. The emphasis on speed in most companies today is so strong, it’s genuinely baffling.
Apart from the stupid “few” comment. I think its common sense and common knowledge to go slow and build quality.
nope
fast and #slopstr
The few know who they are 🫡
Si si ive heard that. From the few.
Ive read glenford and richard hammings art of science and engineering :) just dont get why people want little clubs or jealous that im not in it. Either way i agree small is beautiful.
I'd rather it be many. But when I look around, it's hard to see, not just among us here, but in the wider fiat landscape, anyone actually practicing it.
So the few isn't a club, but the just the leftovers who don't eat the devil's fruit 😂
I kinda see more fiat heads practicing it. But those fiat heads had some “exit” or the other to sustain themselves to have the freedom to practice it. I just dont know many orange/purple devs on a personal level to know if they practice or not. One thing they both have in common is that they rather not be known for practicing quality software or hardware. “Blowing up the spot and all that”. They rather not be known and silent. And that i get.
This mindset only works in a company that has a flat org chart and isn't highly leveraged. Most tech companies have at least 1 of those fucked up
seen vs unseen dilemma
it's challenging to help people see the unseen.
Fast, cheap, good: pick two.
(If you choose fast & fast, I guarantee you're going to have a rough time 😏)
Hi jay 😉 Quality is speed in disguise delayed bugs are just future chaos. Totally with you on this. Few understand that slow is smooth, and smooth is fast.
