Don't be stupid, be slow [1]

We take shortcuts when we feel the proper solution takes too long to implement If you purposely take a shortcut, write why you take it, how you take it and how to turn back in case of troubles.

Slowing down also allows you to share your problem with your team, your friends or your rubber duck Again, don't forget to write somewhere what your rubber duck told you, don't waste his time asking him the same questions over and over again.
