If done right, the FastThing gets the money flowing to refactor into the GoodThing
- netghost 3y agoIt's the "if done right" bit that's so tricky. So often though the GoodThing doesn't have a clear payoff and another FastThing does.
- jljljl 3y agoSure, but you have to reinvest that money too. And it's a bit misleading to take just the FastThing cost and disregard the GoodThing costs. For example -- it took 10 days to build a JS prototype, but 10 more years of evolution before it became the dominant Web Development language.
