“The Tradeoff Between Quality and Speed” Is a False Question

There is a very popular saying in tech circles: “Slow work produces fine results.” Every time a project is delayed, people say it is “to ensure quality.” But Robinhood founder Vlad Tenev directly tore away this fig leaf. In his view, the idea that you can only choose speed or quality is entirely an excuse for mediocrity.

Truly top engineers are often the people who write code the fastest while producing the fewest bugs. If you observe a team, you will find that people who drag things out and cannot deliver often also deliver a mess of code in the end. In the AI era, speed itself is a form of quality. Models change every day. If you are still polishing an architecture from half a year ago, then in this dimension, your so-called high quality has no meaning.

So stop believing in “we need to slow down to be safe.” If you need to solve an extremely difficult technical challenge, do not look for the so-called steady person. Hand it directly to the busiest and highest-output person on your team. This sounds counterintuitive, but efficient people can always find better solutions instead of merely piling up time.
