This is true only in cases where the correct way to do something is known. In the face of unknowns, it is frequently more efficient in terms of time to iterate

This is true only in cases where the correct way to do something is known. In the face of unknowns, it is frequently more efficient in terms of time to iterate multiple times as a method of exploring the space to determine proper paths forwards.
SpaceX would be one example of this.

- borski 2y agoThis isn’t an argument against iterating. It’s about iterating with intent, rather than iterating just for the sake of iterating. Taking notes, making educated guesses and hypotheses, planning experiments that are adjusted based on what you learned in the prior ones, etc.? All examples of “slow and smooth.”
