On: Scalability is overrated

[Joel_Mckay]

Adjust scope to match your teams skill level. That way no one has to adapt/train, and can stay in their comfort zone.

Works fine until markets use-case suddenly shift, and a platform is hammered out of existence.

Really depends on whether a business plan includes rapid growth (i.e. throw more money at the scaling issue), and an apology tour in the media. =)
