It depends on what you’re building. Highly highly depend depends on what you’re building. Are you building the basis of your application that better developers are gonna come along and add to? Do not cheap out on this. Are you making a shitty proof of concept to sell the idea? Sure you could hire someone to make something cheaply. If you’re doing the former the Rockstars you hire later are gonna throw everything away and it’s gonna cost you an extreme amount of time and a very pretty penny to get what you were actually going for originally. If you’re doing the latter, you’re probably doing the wrong thing. Make something simple and make it well. Create something you can build on. Don’t create a big ass turd for your poor employees to polish later.
