Move Fast and Break Things

Definitions

A startup-era slogan associated with Facebook that celebrated rapid iteration and risk tolerance, even if some failures occurred along the way. It later became a shorthand for aggressive growth culture that can undervalue safety, trust, and long-term stability.
In plain English: A philosophy of shipping quickly even if it causes some mistakes or breakage.
Example: "That process worked when the product was tiny, but move fast and break things is dangerous at platform scale."
