As the developer (but not the OP, of course), cheap is not an attribute I'm inclined to optimize for...

  Yeah. Aspire to be good, fast, and expensive. Also, slow gets expensive fast anyway.

  I’ve come to expect ~80% of work requirements be ‘fast and cheap’ (regular projects) and the rest is ‘fast and good’ (well-funded startup, maybe internal). As I work near academy, there’s a fraction of ‘slow and very cheap’ (produce publications expected by grants by end of the reporting period). ‘Good and slow’ requires exceptional planning or some kind of a lifestyle business, and thus is uncommon in software, AI in particular. Most work conditions require tight deadlines to coordinate with other (relatively isolated) business entities, therefore gotta go fast to deal with possible scheduling conflicts and unaccounted for parts of work.
