True. Yet very hard to follow in practice.
Thread on the nuances of this debate.
It is similar to:
Don’t confuse “action” with “progress”.u2028
Don’t confuse “output” with “outcome”.
Ex – “A rocking horse keepsu2028moving but does not make any progress.” – Alfred A. Montapert.

The “velocity over speed” is alluding to the importance of “direction” or “mission”.
It could mean: direction is more important than moving fast.

Do we know beforehand which bets will lead to real progress?u2028
The correct direction is clear only in hindsight.
The pursuit of the “best” answer might lead to analysis paralysis.

Velocity vs Speed – it’s a game of probability. You don’t know what is best. Hence, you are better off improving the chances of landing at “best”.
To increase the chances of good outcomes (output), focus on strengthening the process of problem solving (input).

Focus on First Principles.
This ensures you solve problems, not symptoms. This leads to more “directional” wins.u2028 Use this to build high conviction.

Focus on Experimentation. This ensures you move fast without analysis paralysis. This builds a culture of learning through trial.
Coupled with first-principles you tend to be correct more times.

The "velocity over speed" links to an organization& #39;s ability to “speed up the learning process”.
