@drq @fionag11 I get it, I have the same concerns too and I think I mentioned them in the blog post. “slow” was the first thing that came to mind, but sounded like a negative attribution to me. To me it sounded like “doing the right thing slows down your productivity“.
Eight years later and I’m still frustrated i couldn’t find a shorter word that I liked.
@docpop Mind if I think of a few?
@docpop Just throwing at the wall:
- Wisely
- Smartly (may be a good candidate, as in moves in a game, of chess for example)
- Sharply
- Calmly
- Firmly
- Safely
- Soundly
- Canny (hmm)
- Astutely (bad, 3 syllables, but I like the word itself)
- Argutely (yes, that's a word)
- (Take) care
- (Make) sense
- (Be) Smart
... and fix things
Will add more if something else comes to mind.
@docpop Steady. The word we're looking for is "steady".
@drq that's good, but I still prefer purposefully. Maybe because I got used to it, but it still seems to have a sense of progress associated with it, rather than being a neutral term.
