Thoroughness unpacked in three dimensions like this by James Stanier is so good and gives a much better way to think and talk about issues of velocity:

Scope is what you’re building.
Scalability is how well it will work as you grow.
Sustainability is how well it will work over time.

As somebody working in platform for the past years, I’ve become very familiar with the different dimensions of this debate around productivity and John here unpacks the topic in a way that’s really useful. I used the nails analogy just yesterday.

Late to the party but I very much love this interview with Karri Saarinen, the co-founder of Linear. Their way of working, “The Linear Method”, will be waved away by companies (“we can’t do that because…”) but with leadership with the right mentality and experience I don’t think it’s that far off at all. Ask your leadership how you can work like this.
