That's actually the perfect way to be. A startup hiring someone of your level to build an MVP is probably wasting a lot of cash. Most startups will never grow big enough to worry about performance. And if they do, they can afford to pay you to come and in fix their code.
That sounds like a balanced ecosystem to me.
- tonyarkles 9y agoTotally! And that's what some of my gigs have been. "We've got a product, we've found a market, and we need to fix some things about the product that we don't have in-house talent to do" On the MVP front, I somewhat agree with you. It all depends on what the product is. I've worked on tech spikes that have involved hardware prototyping, signal processing (both embedded and desktop/mobile), image processing, RF, etc. Those are the types of things where you often can't really "hack it together". I've also worked on simple, e.g., React Native MVPs. The only advantage I might have over a less skilled developer is that I can generally bang those things out quite quickly; in many cases, faster than the business part is ready for (which is likely just wasteful).
