**[Hacker News](https://daily.dev/sources/hn)** · 4 min read · 2875 upvotes · 121 comments

## Summary

Outline speedrunning involves creating a detailed outline of a project, breaking it down into smaller tasks recursively, completing them quickly without perfecting, and then refining the project once it's done.

The key is to not perfect any part of the project until it is fully completed.
