what if the push to work 4 days instead of 5, and less hours in a day, and the wedge being driven between the founders and the proletariat is the result of a psi-ops from Russia and China to hobble the US from the inside. Convince the current generation that working hard and pursuing your craft is inherently a bad thing. I feel like this would work.

It's not. Pushing forward blindly largely builds tech debt either through paths that get abandoned or eschewing documentation & understanding. Most teams would benefit from going slower with many more small probes to figure out how to build the best feature vs throwing tons of big features out.

My opinion on this is that a slow Michaelangelo (eg: every stroke matters) is a better product than a really huge Pollock.

Slower != better

There are times to go fast and take on a little debt vs going slow and getting it right.

It's often hard to know the right time to apply the right strategy. I would like to believe that's what experience gives us.
