Yes and no.

Do things fast when the cost of doing them wrong is low. If you're learning something, or doing something with low risk, then doing it as fast as possible is a really good idea (for all the reasons set out in the article).

But...

Do things slowly if the cost of getting it wrong is so high that you'll have no opportunity to try again. For example, don't pack a parachute quickly.

The key is recognising that there's more than one way to approach soemthing; selecting the right method for the problem at hand is the winning strategy.
