Interview with Swizec Teller
summary
Argues for shipping now and fixing later with a concrete case: a jQuery app backed by a 23 million dollar Series A gets rewritten into React under user pressure, the rewrite rewrote a jQuery app into React and increases team velocity, and the company grew the company 4x while handling many active users. Claims that repeated shipping and building volume beats premature perfection, promises a book of case studies and stories rather than recipes.
