This post isn’t for you. This is for the people that want to ship a product to paying customers and also want to learn a new technology doing it. In my (and what I’ve seen from others) experience, the programmer never ships the product because they’ve exhausted their time and energy on understanding the new technology, understanding the technology to do something they know how to do in other technology. The product never gets shipped and remains with the other projects that were never shipped.
Let's be honest even in our current technologies of choice the product rarely ships. But I get your point.
lol true.
I have ten of the next big things sitting on my computer anywhere from 10%-80% finished. Some are using new technologies, but many are using tried-and-true. It didn't matter.
I've been racking brain cycles the past few weeks trying to figure out how to solve this problem.
- Amount of dev time needed to ship an MVP
- Lack of a business partner
- Not having a pilot customer lined up
- Getting old
Those are some of the issues I see as a far bigger hinderance than any tech stack stuff. Shit, when is the last time (have I ever) tried doing a no-code MVP. Not always possible, but I'm sure somewhere in that stack of unfinished projects I could've come up with a no-code or very limited code MVP...
