“If you can't, you have to really know what you want when you're [building]. If it's to make it worth it, even if there is some relative difficulty of working with the tools, like it can easily be wiped out by a small increase in iteration speed.”

Iteration speed beats native polish — you can't validate what you can't ship

Charlie's designer-engineer friend abandoned a polished Swift app because slow iteration made it impossible to discover whether features actually worked. Unless you already know exactly what you're building, faster feedback loops dominate any quality advantage from native tooling. Discovery requires speed, not perfection.
