When moving fast, talking is the first thing to break

Dave Rupert (in a blog post with a great slug):

Resolving system gaps requires conversations, it’s easier to eject from the system at the slightest inconvenience, duplicate, and go your own way.

Consensus is expensive and slow.

Speed over all else now-a-days.

Why talk to an expert who might tell me no, when the omniscient machine that always tells me yes is right here? Avoiding that friction doesn’t produce better products faster. It makes future conversations more difficult thanks to higher sunk costs and deeper entrenched opinions.
