Consistently I see this advice from everyone who I consider has achieved outside success in their field.
Greg Brockman (OpenAI Cofounder) : Developer Speed is the most important thing I care about: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqiL5QQnN64). I believe he said more about this topic but I can't find it now.
Frank Slootman (Snowflake CEO): In his book Amp It Up, he stresses why pushing people to move fast is extremely important
Elon Musk (Let's not get into a debate about Elon and just agree that he has helped setup 2 100bn+ companies) : "I believe in maniacal sense of urgency, if you can implement something right after the meeting, do that", upon his work philosophy when taking over twitter.
In my personal experience one of the most impressive coders I met, worked extremely fast while also being very accurate, almost indicating that no tradeoff even exists.
