🗜️ Long-term compression

One reality of developing products with modern technology is the compression of the short and long-term. Today, the consequences of actions come back on the timeframe of months instead of years, as it might have been ten or twenty years ago. No longer does it work to take shortcuts with the hope of shipping v1.0, making some money, and cleaning things up later. The product may never even see v1.0.

This is why YOUR Platform is so important. Platform thinking enables you to reach the v1.0 release in a timely manner, and efficiently maintain and improve beyond that.
