The Trade-Off: Quality as a Mindset
One company that exemplifies craftsmanship is Pixar. A quote from *Creativity Inc.* captures this perfectly: “Quality is the best business plan.” Quality isn’t just the result of following a set process; it’s a mindset, a commitment that must be ingrained before any work begins. At Pixar, quality isn’t just an ideal; it’s an identity.
At Whimsical, we share this commitment to quality. We don’t expect perfection every time, but we are steadfast in our pursuit of excellence. Quality is a journey, one that we approach iteratively. We continuously seek to improve our products, understanding that the first version is just the beginning. But we will never settle.
Do we always live up to our commitment to craftsmanship? Not always—but we are dedicated to the path. We actively cultivate and protect craftsmanship in our daily work. For instance:
When building a new product feature, we prioritize meeting our quality standards over rigid deadlines.
We dedicate entire work cycles to refining quality, such as improving UI details or fixing bugs.
Before launching a new feature, we test and evaluate it within our team. Building a product we use ourselves is a significant advantage.
When hiring, we look for candidates with a demonstrated commitment to craftsmanship in their field.
