I'm not totally convinced that allowing developers to build faster is really all that great of an idea. At least not the sacred ideal that seems to be accepted without any question. Most of what I see when people are moving fast is building things as fast as they can think of them based on the first idea that comes to mind that sounds like it might get things done. But the reality is that the first way that you think of implementing something isn't always the best. It's often just about the worst. Giving people the ability to take any whim of a design and run with it all the way to production isn't the best thing overall for software quality. Perhaps I'm alone here, but I'd like for developers to slow down and put some thought into what they are building, and how it's supposed to work, and if it's going to be able to do what it needs to do. I see a lot of "close enough" in my line of work. I know it's different in a startup, where testing the idea now is important, and I'm not slamming that. But the vast majority of developers don't work in startups where getting a product to market before a competitor is the difference between making billions and going home broke. We temper our desire for perfection by reminding ourselves that good enough is okay for now. I'd like us to temper our desire for speed by remembering that there is such a thing as soon enough.
