DESIGNING FAST AND SLOW

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Designers often favor deliberate, evidence-based decision-making, while business partners tend to move quickly on instinct. This creates a "chess versus poker" divide: designers treat decisions as costly and hard to undo, while business leaders treat them as cheap, disposable bets. The real question isn't whether to think fast or slow, but whether a given decision is truly reversible and worth the cost of caution.
