I don’t disagree with you, not entirely. When I was younger, it was all about sprinting full out as long as possible and that is a company that is either going straight to the moon of more often bursting in to flames. I’m quite a bit older and more senior now too and I think there are two slices of startup time, you put in your 45hours doing whatever it is the company needs, often running like hell. Then there is the 5-15 extra hours a week a startup can take and I absolutely think those need to be spent on dividend earning things, logging, ci, documentation, better testing, tooling, etc. Thing is, it can go to the moon or it can flame out but there is this giant middle part of the spectrum where there are good exits and those exits often involve supporting your product and having well documented and tested technology is a positive. Trust me on this, it really sucks to get bought and then explain that it’s going to be a year and a rewrite to do the 10 things the buyer wanted yesterday.
