Software Development

You do not build for a million users on day one. You build so the bottlenecks are visible and replaceable when the hundredth user becomes the hundred thousandth.

The expensive mistakes are organisational: no owner, no “not doing” list, no plan for data, and a launch that nobody operates.

Neither is better in the abstract. Off-the-shelf wins for commodity jobs. Custom wins when the process is the business.

Choose a stack you can hire for, operate, and still change in 18 months. Novelty is not a strategy.

Projects rarely fail because a language was wrong. They fail because the problem was never frozen, the owner was missing, or “done” meant a demo.
