I have to assume: move fast and break things.

I don't mean this to be taken as a hot take.

The startup scene loves to poo-poo on things like this as unnecessary overhead. OpenAI and many others like to operate as a startup, to move fast.

Disclaimer: in far, far lower-stakes situations, I certainly do this myself.
