One of the hardest things for programmers to learn (including myself) is that success is almost entirely determined by how well your solution solves the problem you're aiming at, and how well you market it. The tools you use to create your solution matter to almost nobody.

It's true that if the company really grows, scalability, code manageability for teams etc. might become an issue if your backend is very poorly engineered, but that's the exception to the rule. As long as it works, it's good enough to launch with.

I think concentrating on the main features and launch quickly is good. You can start getting feedback and doing what customers or potential ones want.


This is absolutely bang on the money. Totally right!
