Accelerating your product launch through tech decisions
summary
Builds a virtual tutor powered by GPT and first attempts use a MERN/Express stack on a VPS with Next.js, Tailwind and webpack, hitting a day‑long bug from a Tailwind class and a Tailwind + Prettier webpack snag that kills launch velocity. Moves to Velo on Wix and trades low‑level control for immediate auth, data collections (MongoDB style), serverless backends and scaling that just works, proving platform choice cuts weeks of setup and environment tax.
