معنی
to simplify processes, sometimes incorrectly
زمینه فرهنگی
The phrase is often linked to the 'jakoś to będzie' philosophy—a belief that things will work out even if not done perfectly. It's a mix of optimism and negligence. In modern Polish startups, 'iść na skróty' is increasingly frowned upon as companies strive to compete with global quality standards. There is a strong cultural stigma against 'iść na skróty' in traditional Polish schools, where 'hard work' (ciężka praca) is highly valued over 'smart work'. In the mountains, 'iść na skróty' is a literal warning. Tourists who leave the trail to take shortcuts often get lost or injured, leading to the phrase being used in safety campaigns.

Use 'pójść' for results
If you are blaming someone for a failure, use 'poszedł na skróty' (past perfective).
