I always thought my job was thinking, not writing? It should be about finding a good solution to the problem, not cranking out code like a madman.

  No, you have to crank the code out to production as fast as possible. Ship it all the time, every day, tens of times a day. It's a war zone, not academia where you can think all day.

    Nah, sorry, I don't buy that. I'm not in a "war zone", I'm building a product for humans, and would like to earn a little so I can enjoy life. Going to war doesn't spark joy for me, but if that's your kink, I'm not stopping you.

      Running a business is always a war. Either you deploy and win the war, or you are still thinking about the code you will be deploying some day and lose the war to someone who deployed.

        If someone is just one deployment behind you, it may be time to work smarter, not harder.
        • pkrumins 5y ago
          Just one deployment? To win the war you need to be hundred deployments ahead.

    May I use your last sentence? It is great.
    • pkrumins 5y ago
      Absolutely!

    You can still ship early and often while adding a comment here and there so tomorrow you'll understand what you wrote and won't have to figure it out all over again

      Agree here but: // not a longer comment than this
