I don't completely agree here. Yes, if you can't scale fast enough as you need to, it can hurt your business. Not being able to keep up with demand is a (luxury) problem that every business faces, not just in tech. They would ofte

Believe me, it is even more frustrating for the company. Accepting payments is an incredibly hard problem, regardless of which payment processor you use. No matter how many tests you do, there is always a bank somewhere trying to include so

Current generation F1 engines for example, are limited to just 1.6L (97 cubic inch) displacement, and teams are not allowed to refuel during the race. This forces engineers to design more efficient engines (less fuel equals less weight). La
