  • Yak-shaving is a necessary task where as you look at each detail the complications compound.
    • The deeper you get the more the process compounds.
    • At some point you need to say "this is good enough" to stop the explosion.
    • Some contexts you have to yak shave because you have to get it perfect.
      • For example, in the web platform, or in crypto.
    • But at some point the complication has to get small-scale enough that you say "I will make a simplifying assumption to nip this in the bud."
