Every shortcut borrows convenience from somewhere else.

A shortcut does not remove work, it relocates it, usually to later and usually to a version of you with less patience and fewer options. The convenience is real and it is borrowed, and the loan generally comes due at the worst moment.

Before taking a shortcut, ask where the skipped work goes and who handles it. Sometimes the answer is fine. When the answer is you, in six months, under pressure, reconsider.
