I once had a doc of these but lost it; recompiling them here in this thread (feel free to contribute): # Examples ## Fast vs Steady - Better safe than sorry / Nothing ventured, nothing gained - Haste makes waste / early bird gets the worm ## Sunk cost fallacy *vs* perseverance * When is it right to persevere versus when is it right to face your loss and move on? ## Vertical integration *vs* specialization * [[Joel on Software#35. In defense of NIH syndrome]] * Apple's strategy * The rise of semiconductor fabs / TSMC and the fall of Intel (which applies to the above) ## Centralization vs decentralization * "Central planning" versus the "market economy" * [[Monorepo]], [[Monorepo|monorail]] ## batteries included vs lean frameworks * react vs angular * Rails vs Sinatra ## [[Micromanagement vs Neglect]] # Caveat > [!warning] > Don't get cynical with *Been there, done that*.
