Our team is slowing down instead. The quality of the code has become so poor, full of bugs and what not, that we have decided to slow down and instead invest in quality. We currently spend so much time fixing bugs and refactoring spaghetti code to shoehorn the next shiny new feature, that the amount of actually useful features we deliver has decreased. Half-assed features which work on paper but totally unusable for users because we're still at MVP where nothing really works but the PM is happy because he can report to CEO we shipped another cool feature. It's actually quite demotivating to learn that no user actually uses the feature you developed because it's total crap. Yes, we shipped often, but we shipped crap.

Now we focus on writing more tests and doing more design reviews.
