The best technical people aren't always the best to start a business. The goal is to make money not have perfect code.

- Nextgrid 5y agoIf someone comes to me and tries to sell me a service that can leave me with an infinite bill I'd look at them funny and walk away. But that's just me and maybe I just don't get it and I'm not "startuping" right.
- Grimm1 5y agoCool, and if this was a case of bike shedding over something that hadn't just cost that early stage startup 5 grand I'd agree with you. However regurgitating a platitude that everyone, including myself, learned when we tried getting our first business off the ground doesn't add much value here. Had this been a Database with 10million rows it would have cost them 50k, and this is incredibly basic programming knowledge. Basic proficiency is a far cry from worrying about best technical talent and not a particularly egregious ask.
