I think this article misses what is meant by "Move Fast and Break Things". I never took it to mean 'physically (or programmatically) break things apart while moving quickly', I thought it was more about deconstructing things we considered "normal". Like another way of saying "think outside the box", and do that without hesitation or inhibition.

We wanted to set up a culture so that we were equally messing up by moving too quickly and by moving too slowly some of the time. So that way, we’d know that we were in the middle.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7_UNu7zEVs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7_UNu7zEVs
- digi_owl 11y agoMy interpretation of it is to say that web devs should not be afraid of introducing bugs while implementing new features, as patches can be pushed just as fast. This may be true for a web site (or app as some like to call them these days). But the mentality has filtered down to actual software running locally, or even whole OSes (see Android for instance, where more than once Google has pushed a feature into the world before all the proverbial edges have been filed down).
