I'm picturing that meme with the guy sweating over pressing a button.
Add new features that generates revenue, or optimize the database.
Hmmm.
Of course the response is that you want to optimize the database so that when you do eventually add new features that generate revenue, you can scale to meet the demand.
Or is it...
- Draiken 3y agoThis meme is a bit too misleading. In reality tons of startups have a shitty product with zillions of bugs because "move fast break things". Then later on they don't survive because the only reason people even pay for them is because the other startups are spending silly money on it. When the well dries up, it all comes crumbling down. Turns out that startup's software is too shitty and simply not good enough to survive a cost cutting round. People love to pretend that just adding more features always beats everything else, but it's not as clear cut as people make it seem.
