    The lads tackle the age-old dilemma of speed versus quality in software development, with hilarious insights and valuable recommendations. From the perfect number of monitors to subsisting on Mountain Dew and pizza, the hosts delve into the funny side of finding the right balance. But beyond the laughs, they discuss practical strategies for gaining speed, including creating a common base library and using off-the-shelf products. They also caution against over-promising and emphasize the importance of finding the right balance between speed and quality. This podcast is a must-listen for any developer looking to up their game without sacrificing quality.
