Speed matters: Why working quickly is more important than it seems (2015)
40 year old here. Speed doesn't matter as much as WHAT you deliver. First of all, people do not know how much time something takes. And secondly, they will forget how much time it took, but not how well it was made.Responding fast to emails is just crazy. I lost count on how many urgent problems got resolved automatically. "Hey can you help me with this". 15 minutes later "Nevermind, found it".I'm in the "Slow is smooth, smooth is fast" camp. https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/4FZfzqMtwQZES3eqN/slow-is-sm...
