There are a thousand reasons why your idea will fail - your tech-stack will not be one of them

Published on

When I talk to engineers in IT departments of our clients, they love talking about technology:

  • „Which programming language/frameworks do you use?“

  • „Is this built as a Single Page Application?“

  • „Does this scale?“

  • „We use this...because of that...“.

I love talking about all of that because I love technology as much as they do, but let me tell you something: 

IT DOESN’T MATTER IN BUSINESS DESIGN!

You can scale the crappiest technology to any amount of traffic you will ever reach (this guy serves 2M page views per month and scaled to 100k MRR with a single PHP-File ). It’s not worth it to spend time/energy or overthink technology when you are starting out. It maybe matters when you are Facebook or Google.

But let’s face the truth: You will never be this large. And by the way, in todays fast-moving tech-world you almost have to rewrite the whole thing every two years anyway. Use your valuable time on more important things like getting your first paying customers and your product.
