Building the Wrong Thing

At the end, users won’t care about the underlying technologies used in your startup.

They don’t care about what programming language you used. They don’t care if your website is a Single Page Application or you used Turbolinks. They don’t care if you have a micro-services oriented architecture or if you created a monolith.

They only care if you solve their pain or not. And they will pay you if you do a good job. That’s all.

If you build the wrong product, it won’t matter how many sound technical decisions you made along the road.

Technical decisions are important to keep the team morale high, and to maintain momentum and speed, but your users don’t care about that. Really.
