What I'd tell myself about startups if I could go back 5 years 11 years ago
I think the point is that a good developer is happy to start using a language/framework because it is the best tool for the job (regardless of their experience using it), rather than just sticking to what they know.
I think that's probably more useful in a start up. But I go more for the 'get shit working and see what happens' approach to developing. I mean, making it look pretty is what iterations are for.
maybe. or whatever.
