    I know what you mean, but FWIW: You probably mean “move fast and break things”. “Fail fast” is usually about not hiding/carrying with you potentially bad errors, and instead “fail fast” when you know there’s an issue. It’s an important tool for reliability.

    An unrealistic example: Better to fail fast and not start the car at all when there’s abnormal voltage fluctuations, then explode while driving ;)

      Maybe they actually meant “fail fast” because it’s cheaper to build? It would certainly explain a lot.

      Not quite sure myself if I’m kidding or not.
