Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

In software development, "thoroughness" is a more accurate and productive concept than "scope" when discussing project timelines. Thoroughness encompasses the depth of problem exploration, experimentation, and the longevity of the solution. Rather than pressuring teams to "go faster" by sacrificing quality, it's more effective to have conversations about the desired level of thoroughness and its impact on delivery time.
