The person who ships wins

Adam DeJans Jr. recommends:

– Build the smallest thing that actually solves the problem
– Get it in front of people fast
– Fix what actually matters, not what only you notice
– Don’t wait for perfect alignment; ship something that forces alignment
– Make progress visible

This applies to optimization models, ML systems, pricing engines, routing algorithms, everything. The polished version only exists because the messy version went out first. Link
