Real-world notes for founders navigating the messy road from idea to launched product.
Next.js 16 shipped with a long feature list. Most of it won't matter for your MVP. Some of it will dramatically improve your development experience.
We built a startup's MVP on Bubble. Six months in, page loads hit 8 seconds. Customer support tickets tripled. The founder called us to rebuild it properly.

Vercel's default deployment is simple: connect your Git repository, push code, and it's live. But as your product grows, you need more control.
Type errors caught at compile time cost minutes to fix. The same errors caught in production cost hours or days. We use TypeScript everywhere.
Every React Native project starts with the same question: Expo or bare workflow? The short answer: use Expo unless you have a specific reason not to.
