well I suppose that really depends. When there is little to no code and the feature remains incomplete, then it's pretty bad.

Currently, pro gamers have a lot of downtime between League of Legends games due to having to queue up for a game after finishing a previous one. These queue times range anywhere from 10-25 minutes on average, during which here is literally

Doing the unscalable things only works if the LTV per user is very high. You can't just apply that every single startup.
