🏎️ The engineer’s illusion of speed: How skipping your software development process actually slows you down

Skipping well-designed software development processes might feel like a shortcut, but it’s the ultimate productivity trap. Good processes are the key to achieving consistent, reliable results.

Why skip something designed to make you efficient?

We all dislike bureaucratic, slow, or pointless processes.

But here’s the truth: a good process isn’t extra work. It’s the optimized way to get consistent, reliable results.

Skipping processes feels faster in the moment, but it’s a contradiction.

The outcome of chasing this illusion of speed? Wasted effort.
