I hold it true
whate’er befall
I feel it most
for sorrow’s sake
Tis better to
move fast and break
Than never to have
moved at all
…after TennysonI enjoyed the article but I think it’s a bit too provocative of the author to distill it all down to “move slow and fix things”.
If anything, the lean nature of a bootstrapped, slow growth, mom-and-pop software business puts even more emphasis on the ethos of moving fast (or quickly if you prefer): it’s always best to make progress, even if things break, as long as you fix anything you break along the way.
