I think we fool ourselves into believing there is external pressure for quick, dirty, please everyone, "will fix it later" solutions when no one sane asks for that.

Modern management is trying to apply command and control to creative endeavours, and usually forces everyone to fail.

Sometimes it's possible to wander around, rejecting the views of everyone else and creating a perfect product. More often you get something no one wants.

A better approach is to have enough time and money to walk in the right direction, carefully. No matter how many times I think of the idea of a start up running ahead I think of disorganised mob, not a disciplined army.

The goal is to take a disciplined army into the unknown.

not a rabble egged on by a crazy guy, or a goose.
