When you are a startup, time to market is literally the only priority.
- pdimitar 10y agoWe all work for money, I get that. After you do that a number of times though, promise me something: please reflect on my words again in the future. Devs at important app shops are influencers for much more than technology. You should try and be a positive influencer of culture. Sometimes it comes with a financial cost and I've been guilty of going the way of the money in the past myself.
- grinich 10y agoI'm not saying other things aren't important or should be sacrificed. Just that when building a startup, if you can't get to market... you die. Having a great culture or clean code or beautiful design doesn't save you if you don't ship. Those are still all things which can kill the company later, but none of them kill you as immediately and completely as failure to ship. So time to market becomes the ultimate priority.
- pdimitar 10y agoI think I'd be perfectly okay with that... IF the startup comes around later and rewrites the app to use less resource-intrusive tech. ^_^
