- gaius 17y agoHardware yes, but the basic premise of a startup is that your people are top-notch. Scalability doesn't imply building something up-front that can handle enormous loads - it means building something that can grow with you. As opposed to "oh crap, we've got some load now, better start again" a la Twitter.
