Like all sayings, there is context for moving fast and breaking things.
The saying means that when creating something new for profit, don’t worry too much about trying to figure out all the details beforehand and figure it out as you go. This will inevitably cause things to break, but being able to quickly fix that when it happens is the same skills needed to create new features as you go.
The saying does not work with large and complex established systems where breaking things wreak havoc.
What, you mean I can’t just read rich guy memoirs and blindly apply the platitude under each chapter heading? /s
It works fine for anyone with the foresight to be born into an ultra wealthy family.
Or at least a sorta-wealthy family, and the further “foresight” to be in the exact right place at the right time.
That’s the background of most of the Western ultra-rich, just as a consequence of there being vastly more sorta-wealthy families than already ultra-rich ones. Some of them are bound to stumble into situations that add a digit or two to their net worth. For an example, Elon Musk is notable for being tangentially involved in a huge success like three times, despite being a well-known moron.

come to think of it, at this company devs aren’t needed, just QAs and a toxic manager would suffice
oh, that’s how you end up with
APERTURE SCIENCE
We do what we want, because we can
For the good of all of us, except the ones who are dead.
for those who wanna drown in nostalgia a bit
but what about the auto tests
Management said that writing tests takes too much time and eats into the time that could be used to write features for the app, so they decided that we’re not writing tests. They were always green anyhow
Developers are responsible for their own testing.
Test coverage and end to end tests will be assigned to someone no longer at the company, or on vacation.
oof, bro, gotta use “/s” so not to be downvoted into oblivion by accident lol
It’s not satire if it’s what most people do by default:)
Tests are for nerds.
Programming is also for nerds.
Therefore, tests are for programmers.

Always remember, the silicon valley ethos of “break things” wasn’t about their applications, it was about breaking industry, society, laws and your ability to oversee or regulate them.
