Recipes are not written down but passed
down to family members and one recipe can
be made 50 different ways because there's
no wrong way of doing it!

Focus on how fast you can validate assumptions,

To decrease lead time, queue time is more
important than execution time
To decrease lead time, reduce work in progress
