We consciously embrace imperfection in work for the sake of speed. Perfectionism slows progress, so it’s essential to move quickly and try new things.

Radical responsibility means taking personal accountability for every aspect of personal and team work, including problems and their solutions. It shifts focus from "we" to "I," where I take full responsibility for the result without blaming external circumstances or other people.

Follow the principles of persistence and strive for the best results.

Ask for help when needed and offer it to others.
