move fast and break things ...or not
what do you think of eng philosophy of move fast and break things. It might work for Google and Facebook who have established user base, how about SAAS companies where users for pay for service like OKTA, Salesforce, ServiceNow
People who work on hardware are looking over with terror in their eyes right now.
Years of practice and education, millions of hours of research and testing, to create state of art communication system just for monkeys to share nudes on TikTok💃🙈
They say this is acceptable in FB but in reality it's not. Just the "move fast" part is true, but if you "break things" you'll be dinged on performance review.
Haha..not I see quite a few companies saying similar thing, wonder if it is true to the word..
Didn’t they change to “move fast build things”?
Doesn't work for FinTech... Unless you want to end up like robinhood
We cannot break anything at OKTA. Such heavy process involved in shipping even the tiniest feature.
Good or bad?
By process what you mean?
I am not a fan of this. I am a believe of smart planning and focused execution. Moving fast is not a solution to bad planning and disorganization Moving fast without a goal or strategy is the same as debugging your code in prod. Yes, it's fast, but if I screw up, I bring the whole site down.
It is not acceptable in Google either (hint: GCP). I would think a startup is more likely to have this philosophy rather than big companies.
