Whenever someone builds something that is too complicated they make arguments about it being for "big apps" big teams" or "when at scale."
-
-
exactly. half the the time "at scale" means "when a week long on-boarding into our stack is common."
-
yeah. "beginners through advanced users can all use this" needs some glue, but less than astronauts believe.
-
but also, apps built with no-stack can end up with longer onboarding

-
on a long enough timeline "no stack" becomes "crazy custom stack we have glued together just for this app"
-
right, which is sorta what people who are doing it right mean by "scale"
-
we need a better term because "scale" has too much architecture astronaut glued onto it.
-
I think nobody would disagree that npm "scales" better than go get.
-
i do think we need a better word but it's hard to beat a word that means so many different things people identify with.
