There’s more than the loss of quality or care or widgets that others have to now deal with because of your short cut.
There’s also the time and energy spent searching for the short cut: Precious resources that could have been put toward making the work better instead of looking for a short cut.
Not to mention, a short cut is short. You may, from time to time, find one that helps – but it only ever helps in the short term (it’s in the name for a reason).
