> No, not really, you should focus way more on the latter really.

You're absolutely right. I think I should have phrased this as "Don't completely neglect your early engineering and infrastructure." Some choices could inhibit our ability to achieve product market fit.

I think the pandemic created supply chain problems that affected a lot of companies. There's a lot of reasons to like Azure for me. I'm familiar with it. They focus a lot on developer experience. But this one issue really hit hard and definitely makes me want to be more flexible in how we deploy to the cloud.

Ha! Yeah, we really loved the GitHub way of working. Turns out, GitHub had a unique culture and it doesn't necessarily translate over to whole market. I wish I had included this in the post.
