[Job] How much speed do we really need?

For the last two or three weeks, I've been discussing with a few co-workers that I'm not enjoying a few things that are happening in my workplace. These things range from the lack of quality that we are shipping, to a lot of back-and-forth, and even roadblocks that were never an issue before but are now. I was asking myself if I was doing a poor job recently or what changed, but I couldn't figure out if this was really my fault or not. Then I talked to a few people, and one answer I got actually raised a yellow flag in my head. They said, "Dude, we are doing like 4 or 5 different things at the same time; we ain't got time to read everything or even get a deeper context on most things." To be honest, I understand that; everyone is doing a lot of stuff with AI recently, but do we really need all that velocity? When I started working in technology, things moved slowly but surely. Now I'm fighting for the attention of grown men and humans who refuse to read a fucking PRD and also complain…
