I'm curious about views from the crowd here on how to apply the recommendations from this article in the context of a startup

I've worked in both heavy industry (mining /metals production) as well as my own startup for the last 7 years

I definitely empathize with the view that diligently investing in people, and taking time to build sustainable processes that focus on the mid to long term is the ideal way to go... But when your runway is weeks, not months, and it's ship or die, seems hard to justify such a Rosy ideal

Let the debate begin!
