What kills a project faster than bad math? Goldplating! 💥 You think you're adding value, but you're really introducing scope creep, driving up cost, and creating new points of failure. In 30 Seconds to Success, remember this lesson: Your job isn't to build a Lamborghini when the requirements demand a highly reliable commuter vehicle. Meet the actual requirements, validate the need, and stop adding the fluff. Keep it lean, design to the requirement, and guarantee success!
