Then outsource for cheap to get the MVP done. Ignore the language choice and all that. Because in all reality, there is a very high chance it'll be redone anyway and your future technical cofounder will probably be doing that. That said, they'll be doing both. You're wrong if you think language choice isn't going to matter. Different coders will have a preference, sometimes a very strong preference.
Ignore language choice for now and just get the MVP done.
- dmg123 15y agoWhat is considered cheap these days? I did some preliminary calling around for RoR firms and they're charging at least $50k. Most are around $100k-$150k for a v1.
- pbreit 15y agoYou should be able to get an MVP for less than 50k (there was guy on hn recently who would do it for 5). As others have stated, the language doesn't matter that much and don't worry about scaling (you'll be lucky to have that problem). Your impression of a tech cofounder is off. That person would typically roll up his sleeves and code. Startups require doers, not thinkers.
