"First make it possible. Then make it beautiful. Then make it fast."

This mantra closely resembles the rule attributed to Kent Beck that one should "Make it work. Make it right. Make it fast".

Agree, was disappointed to see the paraphrase go unattributed.

I found this insightful on the make it fast stage: "you might worry about things like asymptotic complexity in the "make it beautiful" phase and focus on the constant-time factors in the "make it fast" phase."
