Would you rather have a heart surgeon who studied for years, spent years practising and assisting, and took time building up the skills needed; or a heart surgeon who just flipped through a book and watched a video on heart surgery?

Finding the golden middle ground between 'move fast and break things' and 'move slow and fix things' is difficult and as the stakes get higher it's only natural to favour slow, steady, and careful over flying by the seat of your pants.

On the other hand I'd prefer a heart surgeon who performed a hundred low-stakes surgeries and is now on his first heart surgery over the heart surgeon who has done one heart surgery before but has otherwise no surgery experience

As the stakes get higher you have to slow down, but imho the right takeaway from that is that you need to find low-stakes environments where you can move fast, in addition to whatever high-stakes environment you have
