Hopefully by now, the cheap, fast, easy and good rule makes sense. But all rules are meant to be broken, and that’s where “good enough” comes in. An easy example is my 2015 Toyota Camry.

If you want “cheap and fast,” it won’t be good. If you want it “cheap and good,” it won’t be fast. I like that approach, but I’m not sure every customer does.

Good, cheap projects are usually slow. And fast, cheap projects are typically of low quality. The common wisdom is that you can have two choices between the three options.
