I see quite often people talk about 'good practices' in web-programming but generally say "don't worry about scale issues... if it becomes an issue, you've just beaten 90% of other startups" umm, isn't this a bad practice? Because when you do start worrying, it's gonna be a bitch to fix...
- pinksoda 16y agoWhy would this be a bad practice? This is a GOOD practice. You don't want to add months to the development time before you know if it's going to get traction. I've had several successful sites, but dozens more failures and I'm glad I didn't waste the time making them all easily scalable; they simply didn't need it.
- veb 16y agoI'm just wondering what happens when suddenly you're growing incredibly fast, and you simply do not have the development/money to keep up with the volume of traffic, how does one get on top?

- veb 16y agoFair point.
