Ask HN: Building for Joy vs. Building for Scale

1•chbkall•8h ago
Did you ever have to choose between building for joy and building for scale? What did you choose? Did it change over time?

Scale? As in using the whole AWS stack for maybe 100 daily clicks? Or scale as in avoiding 1:N and building a proper data model that doesn't fail on scale?

I never build for "scale" I just have joy building clean code. I never experienced scale issues that couldn't be solved by upgrading a 5$ VPS to the next level.
