Can a rushed job ever beat a slow one? Two gigs 4 hours apart made me wonder
Two jobs hit my inbox on the same afternoon back in March, one gave me 12 hours and one gave me 3, and I swear the 3 hour one came out cleaner. The quick one had a hard cutoff at 6pm so I just cranked it out, no second guessing, and the long one I redid the opening paragraph maybe 6 times over two evenings. So now I'm stuck wondering if a tight clock makes us sharper or if I just got lucky that day. Some folks here say panic mode kills quality, others say a long deadline is just a slow way to overthink. Which side are you on, does more time ever really make the work better?
