Velocity is also highly valuable because if you can get your code in front of users worldwide rapidly, you can more quickly “page out” that code and move on to the next work unburdened. Once you know your code is released fully and working, the cognitive overhead is greatly reduced because multitasking is reduced.

The tradeoff is that if you are pushing your code worldwide in an hour and you shipped a critical bug, your high velocity also creates outsized negative impact.
