Well, given that "move fast and break nothing" does have that catchy je ne sais quois (at least to me) that makes a motto resonate, I'm assuming it is controversial in some way. Maybe not in whether it's a good idea but in whether it's even possible. I think it is a pretty controversial/shocking claim to say that you can move with startup efficiency without sacrificing the reliability that slow-moving large corporations with pointy-haired bosses seek. If the industry readily accepted that claim, the industry would look a lot different from how it does now.
- ObviousScience 12y agoThe new motto just sounds like "Pay My Rent and Keep My Money"; sure, I'd like both of those things and it's certainly going to cause a stir that I'm claiming I'm going to do both, but it's not like it's actually a thing that can be done, and the attention people pay to the claim is largely confusion about what I even mean when I say that. By contrast, "Pay My Rent and Empty the Account" actually tells you something about the direction I'm going in, and what I prioritize when picking my actions.
