"Heroics should describe soldiers, not software engineers."

Then again, I keep reading analogies comparing business to war, especially with startups. I hear how we are to release early and often, which means less testing.

Certainly, there are situations for the brutal speed of war tactics, and situations for the precision of brain surgery. Unfortuanately, I've been in situations where the wrong approach was taken for the situation given, and the results can be as effective as a grenade in an operating room or a sugeon in scrubs facing machine gun fire.

"I hear how we are to release early and often, which means less testing".

In the parlance of our times: You're doing it wrong.
