I think context is important here. What is the software you are building? Is it highly critical or possibly life threatening, like a stock exchange trading system or a aeroplane control system? Should the developers be given autonomy to speed delivery? Or should more controls be put in place to ensure delivery of the quality, validated product while possibly slowing down the delivery speed.
And yet Christians have it so right...
"Now it came about after these things, that God tested Abraham, and said to him, Abraham!' And he said, 'Here I am.' And He said, 'Take now your son, your only son, whom you love, Isaac, and go to the land of Moriah; and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I will tell you.'"(Gen. 22:1-2).
Remember that religious texts are mostly proverbs. These events most probably didn't actually happen, they are trying to communicate moral attitudes via stories... a little like Winnie the Pooh and Friends.
