I deeply believe that a certain amount of friction is necessary to get quality *anything*. Because it makes you think.

@bert_hubert I agreed that quality takes time, but is friction the way to ensure you have enough time?

I'm aware that it is often delays that create the time required. But I think that mastery of our craft also requires us to know when to take our time. As an industry, we may have to invest more in explaining to our customers that certain things take a certain amount of time.

The mythical man month was published over 50 years ago and still we repeat the same mistakes.

@bert_hubert Yeah, this is also why 'too cheap to meter' is kind of a problem, in computing, especially when heavily subsidised by venture capital, or advertising dollars. There is no longer a noticeable cost associated with it, and that changes how people behave.
