That won't be true once your competition catches up to you and your bug-riddled product is pissing off customers, pushing them towards your competitors.

I think move fast and break things is more what you do before you get any real competition, or to get better than the competition in some areas by taking shortcuts in others.

You stop doing this when you're the big dog. Then you embrace the image of reliability and stability.
