Speed has never been my number one goal. I’m not sure why I’d start to optimize for that now.

Speeding up delivering value to the users seem a pretty good goal to me tbh

You mention in the original post having more bugs. When I use something for the first time and it has a bunch of bugs that prevent me from using it, I never bother using it again. That loss of trust is hard to win back and it erases the potential value. I want to deliver a good experience to the user, first and foremost, so they actually come back.

As a user, I’d rather the developers release later with a solid product/feature.

As a developer, I’d rather release something that won’t be a support nightmare.

		“More bugs” is different from “a bunch of bugs”, and I agree on the support nightmare. My statement was implying that without looking at the code we might still be able to release something good quality that doesn’t fire back :)
