Apart from the smugness, I hope you realize that technology != success. It doesn't matter that I can replicate Tinder with a few weeks of coding.
In fact, the two are often inversely correlated because engineers can be so worried about what technology, what stack, what language, instead of worrying about the real deal: getting the users.
- romanovcode 9y agoI know that you can build twitter and tinder and getting the users is hard. But my point was very different -- People will probably need this for some internal tooling (devops) and it is simple enough to just build it on your own without paying someone or relying on 3rd party. IMO there should be a line of what to outsource and what to build yourself. In my mind simple things like this go into second category.
- dvt 9y agoI see your point but I'm not fully convinced. Companies outsource simple stuff all the time. To wit, I think that line you drew might vary from company to company.
