Wasn't it like that always for most companies? Get to market fast, add features fast, sell them, add more features?

This reminds me of an old software engineering adage.

  When delivering a system, there are three choices

  You can have it fast,
  You can have it cheap,
  You can have it correct.

  Pick any two.
