>This person can build fast: Quality rarely matters in MVPs, Speed and number of iterations is the most important factor when pivot is just down the road. While this statement happens to be true[ish], that it is even close to true is a major failing in the startup (and even non-startup) world If you are not thinking about quality, scalability, and security from the start, you have no business being a founder of any kind You need to be at least planning for the tool/service to scale. This does not mean you build the Google-of-2023 before Google-of-1998. It does mean if you are not planning for reliable, sustainable growth (more customers, more features, more integrations, etc), you are planning to fail (or to fit into such a tiny niche you will be innovated around by someone else who is planning these things) All too often the "MVP" pivots into being the product or service actually offered - necessitating massive rewrites and workaround later if growth, stability, and security was not thought about from the git-go
