Our most durable competitive advantage (vs big companies in tech) is *speed*.
|
|
|
|
"You can have it good or you can have it fast" - a dumb and lame quote from lame and dumb people.
|
|
The gains you get by pushin speed in your company is that the culture pushes everyone to be faster because seeing those gains is encouraging.
|
|
|
|
As an engineer, forget forget forget about clean code and making it look perfect. Just make it *technically* work.
|
|
|
|
If somebody suggests a project and says it's gonna take like 3 months, you should hate it. It should be disgusting and make you physically cringe.

> speed isn't the enemy of quality, it's the only way to acheive it.

I don't totally agree with this, but ok. I guess in a business sense, it's fair, but there's a lot to be said about labors of love, and art.

|
> What's your reaction when someone says, "Can we go faster?"

Annual roadmaps, quarterly plans are wrong because they set a slow pace.
|
|
Dang I really relate to that.

|
|
* find simpler solutions
|
|
* solve fewer problems
|
|
* narrow your focus
|
|
* raise velocity
|
|
* why not today?

never be the leader to cause complexity. Instead try to create clarity and simplicity, and it's best to do so via real teammate dynamic, not heirarchy.

Have a common enemy?? Weird thing to say, sounds kinda machiavellian/orwellian. |
