Everyone works differently, but for me thinking in a leisurely way does produce better outcomes. It's less that my actual thinking is somehow "slower", than that thinking about something and then letting it rest and come back to it, I have better conclusions than if I rushed to judgement.

I guess the phrase 'rush to judgement' is instructive. We're not just thinking, we're deciding of course.

If you can find out about a problem or issue or desire and very quickly come up with an architectural solution that will stand the test of time for years (at least without backwards-incompatibilities, which is what a redis requires), more power to you, but in my experience and observation most will not.

But I get it, you just don't agree with my basic suggestion, from your experience. That's fine. It's not really an argument about the speed of one's thinking. Nobody is "confused".
