If you advise people to "move fast, break things" then obviously you consider that this is a positive.

"Break things" is also obviously not to be understood in isolation. Of course breaking things for no reason is not positive. It means that you will break things if you move fast and take risk and that it is unavoidable and worth it.

I see it being like this:

Value: move fast (positive)

Anti-value: break things (negative)

Breaking things is not positive normally, but it's the compromise for moving fast.

But it's neither. It's "move fast, break things" as a whole to illustrate values of action and risk-taking.
