"If we're going to tackle this now, let's do it right this time, though."
“If we’re going to tackle this now, let’s do it right this time, though.”
I heard this exact phrase recently from a team in a fast-growing tech company, expressed with a fair amount of frustration.
The team had ambitious goals, which they definitely wanted to achieve. The discussion revolved around the question of how to reach the goal. The team had to decide whether they should make extensive changes to the architecture, including the migration to a new framework, in order to be faster in the long term, or to stay with the current structure.
