"A stitch in time saves nine."
"Haste makes waste."
Speed helps you deliver more.
Delivering something after it is needed is useless. Chronically delivering things the day after requirements change due to the world turning, is uselees.
Musicians and other technical performers practice both slow&carefully and quickly, so that over time they can be more correct and more quick (as quick as the task can appreciate)
> That doesn’t mean be sloppy. But it does mean, push yourself to go faster than you think is healthy. That’s because the task will come to cost less in your mind; it’ll have a lower activation energy. So you’ll do it more. And as you do it more (as long as you’re doing it deliberately), you’ll get better. Eventually you’ll be both fast and good.
- RangerScience 7y agoHaste != Speed. Take the time now to do it as well as you know how to do; but you're also correct, and taking too long to do the thing is useless, as well as overbuilding.
- koonsolo 7y ago> Speed helps you deliver more. It might in the short run. Take coding hacks for example. It is fast in the short term, but might cost you double in the long term. Not saying that quick hacks can never have their place, but saying that being fast might cost you time in the long run. So faster is not always faster, and does not always help you deliver more, depending on the timeframe.
