The long tail also requires support and that doesn't scale well. At one of my jobs, the rule is basically that any company under around 5K-10K ARR (it is arbitrary) doesn't get any real support and just gets strung along until they quit, as giving any developer time to their issues makes them unprofitable.
- bilbo0s 4y agoThere's just a lot of harsh facts about business out here in the real world. One of those facts is that some customers are just more trouble than they're worth. And "trouble" can be cost, or PR blowback, or your largest investor just doesn't trust the guy. Whatever it is, it's a reality you probably have to accept and deal with.

- JCharante 4y agoI can see how this makes sense, but at my job with thousands of devs each team has the independence to choose their own tech stack/tooling and what ends up happening is if 1 team finds a product they really like then it slowly starts to spread across the organization. Seems bad to ignore a team when they're trying out a new product.
