But the question is why "must" it ship fast? That seems to be a poor, irrational agreement we've made as a tech society for no better reason except because people are impatient.
- lacey 8y agoI don’t think the argument is centered around impatience. There is a (perhaps wrong) belief that being first to market greatly increases your chances of success if not outright dominance in an area. People are unconcerned with the possibility that if successful they will be left with a mess to clean up and a system that is hard to evolve. They believe those are easy problems to fix.
- wespiser_2018 8y agoYea, its at least my thinking that having a tech debt problem is better than a failed company that results from not moving fast enough with constrained funding to either find product market fit, or fully self actualize the product concept.
- recursive 8y agoIn my case it's because the paying customers only find any value in the product if it helps them remain compliant with controls that go into and out of effect on specified dates. But it's mostly staticly typed already anyway.
