Shortcuts are great when survival time is bought. This can turn into a self-defeating problem when there is extreme habituation to recurrently and disproportionately sacrificing effort, cost and/or burdens on others in future for the now such that the shortcut wastes vastly more net time and money than it could've ever saved. I've seen founders shoot themselves in both feet and unable to move fast, or anywhere, because they knowingly stuck themselves with keeping 50 plates spinning while trying to swim through quicksand... especially solitary founders because they lack the check and balance of a second or third founder to keep them honest with reality and on-track.
