The difference between a good and a great engineer is completing the same project with half the features and 90% of the value. Boards and CEOs who drive their teams to increase velocity miss this point: what you do is more important than how quickly you do it. (And if you don’t give your engineers a say in what you do, then you are beyond help…)
"And if you don’t give your engineers a say in what you do, then you are beyond help" 1000x this. The wisdom of the dev team is a massively underutilized resource.
Boards and execs pushing for speed often forget that half-baked solutions and rushed decisions create technical debt that slows teams down in the long run. It’s not just about delivering quickly; it’s about delivering wisely. Investing in thoughtful planning pays off exponentially

3moI agree with the core of the post, but regarding your last point " if you don’t give your engineers a say in what you do", do you think that kind of approach applies to all type of SaaS?
