I read two types of articles these days;
- We completed our work within 4 hours and have a new product.
- I was hired to come in and fix a company’s product and have spent the last 2 weeks making it scale.
The answer is in the middle: find the right people who use the right tools, to deliver the right thing somewhere in the middle.
The middle is where we all want to be, but it’s not Instagram-worthy enough to get there, so we go with Option 1, but then when 1 breaks, we are forced into 2.
Somewhere in the middle is where people are succeeding.
