summary
Claim: most teams optimize for scale they never see and copy big companies. Gives concrete examples: a reported landing‑page “memory leak” that analytics show nobody encounters, a debut open‑source lib with 2 stars and 7 downloads that used Redux, redux‑form and reselect to manage three booleans, and a startup that only animated a login instead of building delivery features. Describes building Sizzy, a browser-like dev tool for multi‑device preview and project organization, and urges stop solving non‑existent problems and you're not Facebook.
