The first problem every startup should solve is “how do we have enough money to not go bust in two months”, but that’s a hard problem, whereas scalability is trivially solvable by reading a few engineering blogs, and anyway it’s not like anyone will ever call you out on it, since you’ll go bust in two months.

I laughed. I cried. Having a back full of microservices scars, I can attest that everything said here is true. Just build an effin monolith and get it done.
