Slack

Seth Godin recently wrote a great blog post Investing in Slack.

Most of my mistakes as an experienced architect have been due to a lack of slack.

Corners get cut when moving fast on that adrenaline rush of a looming deadline.

When corners are cut, regrettable mistakes happen.

Unforeseeable errors are an unpleasant fact of the profession, but regrettable mistakes gnaw at your soul. Just give us a couple more hours!

The hard part is managing a project is getting the slack before we need it.
