infinity_user commented on Ask HN: Easiest and cheapest full-stack frameworks that you love?    · Posted by u/NayamAmarshe

If you're genuine about your goal (re-examine your own feelings, it's easy to deceive oneself!), your question is going in the wrong direction.

The framework doesn't matter.

If you want to release a startup quickly, just do the minimum amount of work to test the hypothesis you have about your user. Most of the time that will not involve programming. It could be as simple as setting up a Gform or calling a few friends and talking to them about their problems.

If it turns out you do need to code, take whatever tool you already know that gets the job done. Crucially, "gets the job done" means: focus only on what you know you already need. Do not plan ahead. Don't think about scalability. You can always re-write if your idea is actually good (which it almost never is).

Do things that don't scale.

However, if you find your motivation is not so much about starting a startup, but more about learning a new framework, just pick the one that's most interesting to you.

One of the best answers IMHO. Should be the top spot.

Thanks for your input.

CS programs are overproducing but they are overproducing the wrong skills. Most don’t have the cloud skillset or experience with IaC, they are never thought how to solve problems within distributed systems. And their idea of systems design is a Flask app talking to a MySQL database on a laptop.

It’s not the students fault, but the education system is constantly behind the times, and sometimes even teach bad engineering patterns that cause problems and create technical debt.

I love the idea and product. I would have bought one.... BUT then I saw the price...

350 EUR???? WTF ????

Excluding VAT and shipping ??

Who the fuck would want to fork 500 EUR for a damn keyboard ?

What size is the market at that price ? This is ridiculous.

Is there any cheaper alternative to this ?

No fucking way that I spend that much cash for an unproven keyboard
