While "move fast and break things" sounds great and works well in a lot of cases, this is the huge problem with it. There are real consequences. And with GDPR and other privacy laws, this is will start equating to real money lost. I expect that motto to be retired much the same way Google got rid of "Don't be evil".

That's why its ludicrous to make fun of established companies for moving slow, they might be slow but try to minimize all the risk and get the same gains.
