Yeah this startup stuff can feel like “don’t waste time buying a dishwasher for your cafe you just need to get coffee in people’s hands!”. Just buy the dishwasher you know you will need it. Unless the date is 1960 or something. The trick is: learn CI/CD at your job. When you work on your startup it will be a trivial thing. I mean you probably will be using Vercel or similar where it takes 120s to setup and deploy from nothing. Most of that time is npm install on your machine. What about other things? k8s for instance? Simple: if it is second nature to you then you can use it. If you can’t fix 99% of the issues on the spot then don’t. Pick something else.
