It’s easy to over-engineer a solution or cut corners to move fast.

The best devs find the right balance. They scale their effort to match the problem considering the user, the timeline, and the long-term impact.

• Slower performance

• Hidden tech debt

Agile isn’t broken—it just needs more intention.

You don’t need to overhaul the process.

Start by showing up with clarity, asking better questions, and naming blockers early.

Small actions shift team culture.
