   You see this across technologies all the time. Engineers overvalue simplicity, which leads them to pick the lightweight framework (e.g. Flask vs Django, Sinatra vs Rails). The project grows in complexity and they end up having to reinvent t

   Why do you think it is hated? Seems to be one of the most popular backends right now. Personally, I dislike the lack of convention and immature library ecosystem.

   Django and Laravel are both fine options, yes. Depends on the talent and network you already have really. The point is use an MVC framework with a mature ecosystem.

   I think designers who can code are a bit rare. Unless you're bottlenecked by design or it's a market differentiator, just outsource it (whether that's 1, 2, or more contractors). Also there's no shame in rolling with Boo

    $20k is a bit low to get into angel investing. For that budget, would look for Eastern European or South American dev shops. Consider index funds, stocks, and crypto. Best of luck.

    10 years experience, I've received two 20% raises. If you're a high performer and have a boss willing to go to bat, it's not impossible. But it's much easier to get larger raises when moving jobs, yes.

    Any migration scheme with a timestamp based approach is going to work well (e.g. ActiveRecord, TypeORM).

    Personally, migrations have never been painful enough to warrant this sort of product. The idea of branching databases on the other hand is really cool. Is each branch a full copy? Seems like that would lead to huge storage needs for larger

    I don't get it. X is time, Y is progress towards some goal. What's the second line? The threshold at which the goal is achieved?

    Great name. I think you're falling into the classic trap of focusing on something scalable rather than something that's effective. I'm sure that your system provides some value, but I think even a mediocre human coach would b
