Hey @coolman!

You're not wrong in saying that sometimes building at velocity without discussing the repercussions can hurt and sometimes even kill a business (has happened to me)

I think if anything I'd like people to take away from this is to be more outcome driven than feature driven. This can translate to faster dev, focus on customers or move fast/break things. In the end, as we all know - in startup land pace is everything (unfortunately), pace to build until you hit PM fit and then pace to maintain what you've built

I've written about refactoring and rebuilding your code. And if it's necessary to do so, it needs to be done.

Again you're not wrong 😀 and I'm glad you raised this comment!
