    The problem with this culture is the hundreds or thousands of stories that are untold where what was broken, cannot be fixed.

    Like everything in life, there needs to be a balance. I suspect just as many companies have gone a bit too fast and broken to never recover, as there are companies that went too slow and weren't able to keep up. There is a thin line one should try to stay on.

    Agreed, taking calculated risks is key to achieving success and pushing past our limits.

    This is a great explanation

    I wholeheartedly agree with everything you say. I'm also not a fan of Zuckerberg but he has obviously done some stuff right, and 'move fast and break things' is a good mantra for startups who are procrastinating on launching. Nice write-up!

    This is a great way to explain risk. If what you're doing isn't going to kill anyone or lose people millions of dollars then just do it, ship it, everything is fixable. This is exactly what I needed to hear as I've been tinkering and tweaking with my product for months now and I just need to move forward and stop being such a perfectionist. Great share, thanks.
