What we realized was in our very earliest days, move fast and break things was the way to optimize speed. And then in our later days, the way to optimize speed was move fast with stable infrastructure because we broke the infrastructure. It was too hard to fix. And we suddenly were moving slower. So it's still both speed principles.
