Move fast when you can – REWORK

Sometimes speed matters more than polish. In this episode, the team shares how a HEY Calendar feature went from idea to shipped in about a day — and what made that possible. It’s a look at when moving quickly helps, when it doesn't, and how writing clean code gives you room to change your mind later without breaking everything.
