I hate this new "slow" trend. Mostly because "slow" is usually perceived in a negative way and is used to describe what should be in fact normal.
It's not slow software , it's simply working the correct way. Taking the time to design your software , to use the correct technology , to implement it following the right standards, etc ...
Every piece of code I know that was written in a hurry ended up costing more in maintenance than if it had been written correctly.
The real challenge is to make managers and customers understand that you are not going to make money by trying to rush a well defined process.
So... You like the slow trend but you hate the name? I quite like the name because it is jarring enough to get your attention, and it genuinely is descriptive. In the sense that what you need to do is slow down. It's not only doing things properly, although it is that, it's also deliberately pushing back against the forces that are making you accelerate. If you just try to do things properly, you'll fail, because everyone will want you to just do things properly faster. Slowness really is central. Or that's how I see it.
Yep , saying i'm working slowly imply that i could go faster with the same result. That's clearly not the case.
I'm working at the right pace to produce the right quality of software.
