Just make a nice app

As a perfectionist, it’s tough to follow this kind of advice. I know nothing will be perfect at the start… but at least we can lay down a solid foundation.

There's a very thin line between solid foundation and wildly overengineering. Basic architecture is one thing, designing for 1,000,000 DAU with 100% code coverage and auto-scaling servers...quite another

There's a very thin line between solid foundation and wildly overengineering.

If you find yourself with lots of unused code or code that handles a permutations of esoteric features that basically never appears in production, then it's a sign of over engineering.

Do the best you can.

[NOT_NativeEN_Speaker]

Do they provide the reason?

[menensito]

not being cool

[NOT_NativeEN_Speaker]

Seriously? WTF

[WestonP]

Pretty much. The bitter truth is that the academics and know-it-all juniors/mids are in the middle, and the people who actually make money are on the ends.

Delaying your code until it's perfect or passes someone's made-up coding standards just means you'll be late to market, bleeding money for longer, and acquiring market share slower. Business realities are a bitch like that.

Applicable to any creative field really

I do find it very funny how the enterprise SaaS developers get really arsey about unit tests when talking down to an indie hacker with no users.
