"A shipping minimum viable product held together with bailing wire isn't so bad - even if vaporware provides the ultimate ease of maintenance."

Totally agree.

In general, Good grief. This contrarianism is a little unproductive.

If someone gets something done quick... oh, well, you're going to have to throw away the code.

If someone builds it the a little longer way.. oh, you're not using a rapid enough technology. They don't mention how your code won't work in 3 years because it might not be backwards compatible.

Be careful to take the opinions of those who aren't shipping anything regularly.



Isn't that EXACTLY what the article said?

Can I do it? Yes. And if I have to, given time constraints, etc, I will; but would I rather do it the more compatible way? also yes.


I didn't disagree with it.

I was speaking more generally to the attitude of contrarians that we come across. Hope that clarifies things.


Well who would disagree with that? It's common sense; no article required.
