This post sears and burns with the heat of a thousand suns. How I wish I could have read this every day, ten times a day, as I was starting out on my startup journey three years ago.

So many corners were cut in the name of speed. So much pressure from my cofounder/investor to get things out way too fast. So many months of endless suffering and never-ending bugs due to poor architecture that doesn’t scale on the BE.

I know how to push back. I do it for a living at my day job and I’m really good at it. For some reason I decided that I couldn’t ever push back against the guy who put in some money. How horribly wrong I was.
