I'm slowed down (but perhaps sped up overall due to lower rewrites/maintenance costs) on important bits because the space of possibilities/capabilities is expanded, and I'm choosing to make use of that for some load bearing pieces that need to be durable and high quality (along the metrics that I care about). It takes extra time to search that space properly rather than accept the first thing that compiles and passes tests. So arguably equal or even lower velocity, but definitely improved results compared to what I used to be capable of, and I'm making that trade-off consciously for certain bits. However that's the current state of affairs, who knows what it'll look like in 1-2 years.


How do you know they’re durable and high quality?


I do it based on my subjective judgement, somewhat informed by quantitative measurements of metrics I care about like throughput.
