Most of this doesn’t seem in conflict to me.
“Don’t shave the yak.”
- stay focused on the task at hand.
“Measure twice cut once”
- if the output cannot be easily fixed, double check yourself before committing.
“Technical debt is bad”
This is an oversimplification. Perhaps dangerous is a better word than bad.
“Move fast and break things”
- a hyperbolic response to perfectionism

It continues to compound the longer you don't pay it down. You have to be strategic with the resources you have, but often taking on debt is the right thing to do (provided you intend to pay it back later).
- taneq 7y ago> “Don’t shave the yak.” > - stay focused on the task at hand. The definition of yak shaving is that shaving the yak is a prerequisite to the task at hand. You can't continue without doing it. Of course, just because this appears to be the case doesn't always mean it's true. Plenty of times I've been waiting on X to do Y and I've managed to make significant progress on Y just by pretending that X is already done, and working on Y until X is actually necessary.
