@brouhaha @uncanny_kate It would probably be slower to ship something, but faster to ship something of decent quality.

A lot of the push for development models that reached their nadir with Facebook’s ‘move fast and break things’ came from chasing first-mover advantage. If you are the first company shipping a widget then there’s a benefit in shipping fast because you have the entire market to yourself for longer (in some cases, there’s a bigger second-mover advantage because you spend all of the effort required to convince people they want widgets and then the second mover enters the market without that cost and avoiding your mistakes). If you’re in a market where there are established players, it doesn’t matter nearly as much. You can do very well shipping new features more slowly than the competition at a higher quality.
