Speed ships. Quality sticks

“Let’s solve P0 bugs and ship it for now. We can polish it ‘later’.”

Still considered a reasonable plan in some review meetings today.

When that happens, and designers push on spacing, alignment, consistency, interaction, performance, and edge cases, it’s not ego, perfectionism or boredom.


It’s because that last “polish” is the difference between “it works” and “customers actually love it”.

That same 10% which helps PMs and Devs ship something customers respond to — and, in turn, look stronger with leadership :)

My friends - there’s no hidden agenda here.

Our “personal goals” were met the moment the polished Figma and demo video went into the portfolio.

Everything after that is just us doing our job:

protecting the experience users not only expect, but deserve.

So yes, you’re welcome :)

And while AI makes speed cheap, quality still isn’t - so we’ll just need to be pushing for this even harder
