tl;dr: Speed has become a moral virtue in tech and business culture, but much of what passes for "moving fast" is really impatience masking skipped thinking—vague requirements, half-decisions, and unexamined assumptions that generate exponentially more cleanup work later. Real speed comes from understanding the problem clearly before executing, not from theatrical urgency; the author argues for distinguishing genuine urgency from haste, and respecting work enough to make it legible before rushing to ship.
