When making a risky decision in favor of speed or quality, I evaluate several key factors:
- Project goals and business priorities. If a quick market entry is important, sometimes a compromise on quality is justified, but with a clear plan for subsequent improvement.
- Impact on users. If a mistake can lead to serious problems for users, quality is always more important.
- Ability to quickly fix issues. If possible to quickly correct potential errors, taking a risk for speed can be justified.
- Resources and deadlines. Sometimes limited resources dictate a choice in favor of speed.
In Go projects, I strive to write clean, maintainable code, but if the task requires a quick prototype, I can make simplifications with subsequent refactoring.
