Exactly: If bugs cost 50x more in production, but only bugs that are relevant for the core product are reported , then I’ve won 90% of the development time. That’s what I did for my startup (no tests, no 3-tier), and it was extremely valuable seeing all reports focus on a few areas, half of the reports being requests for improvement, extremely useful in determining 90% of the critical path and proving the ballpark of revenue that people would put into it, and since we can now hire, we’re now fully 3-tier with modern tech an all. Good management is judging where to put the team’s energy.
