Someone told me once it's more important to design things to scale 1 or 2 orders of magnitude and be easily replaced. What you think you'll need 2 or 3 orders of magnitude from now is rarely what you need when you get there.
- sanderjd 6y agoYes, but it's also easy to get bogged down reimplementing, right when you have more important things to focus on to keep up with growth. Designing things to be easily replaced is easier said than done.
- pseudalopex 6y agoThe point is you end up having to replace it anyway. Or you get bogged down maintaining and integrating with an overly complex system.
- Ma8ee 6y agoBut when you do have proof of growth it’s much easier to finance more developers to work on the problem.
