    this is a server basterdization of “Good, Fast, Cheap” regarding producing just about anything I’m guessing, which tends to hold true in the real world quite well, yes?

      As an engineer yeah, but honestly it’s usually pick one to prioritize, one to strive for, and one to ignore.

      We can get it out fast, and it can be not bad but pretty expensive or it can be pretty cheap but not good. If we get it good we can try to do it cheaply and take our time, or we can try to do it quickly and it’ll be expensive.
