Related to software industry, we usually rush at the end of the project, and it’s a sign that, although the product is not quite ready, we somehow force its release, and unfortunately, this happens quite often.

Apart from the reasons that you stated — that it can lead to exhaustion — I also think it can cause us to forgo some other important things, like: taking stock of what we’ve done, stopping to gain perspective, taking time to consider various options (etc.). We always seem to be rushing, and I don’t think that’s a good thing, for us individually or for humanity.
