Press Space to continue
Startups fail from lack of users not bad architecture
Press Space to continue
Maybe unpopular but yet to see any startup fail b/c architecture choices. I’ve seen a lot fail because of not being able to get users/customers; no real focus on what to build; not finding any traction. When traction hits, even terrible tech choices scale and can be fixed later.

it’s hard to explain the 2010s microservices fever dream to anyone who wasn’t there every day on HN, we'd wake up to an article from a new startup about how they split their app into 300 services so they could infinitely scale (never mind that they only had 100 MAUs today) so many companies never recovered from this it turns out, replacing simple function calls with network calls that could randomly fail isn't great for shipping velocity
