[Weekly Retro] Shipping faster and better

# 11 - Aug.2023

Happy Friday!

Here is a quick idea before you head off for the weekend:

Shipping faster does not mean you are shipping better. Quality and speed are different dimensions.

They are in constant tension. And that's good.

Making quality a tenet of your product decisions helps teams shift from a "just ship it" culture, to people accountable for building memorable experiences.

Interesting links I found during this week:

• A Brief History of Consumer Culture
• Can AI help close the education gap?

Book I'm reading:

Solito: A Memoir by Javier Zamora. In this book, Javier walks us through his amazing journey of crossing the US border as an immigrant, as a 9-year-old kid.

Quote from the week:

"Discipline and freedom seem like opposites...Discipline is not a lack of freedom, it is a harmonious relationship with time..” — Rick Rubin
