Mistakes

As a solo founder, every tech decision feels critical, and I've definitely made choices that slowed me down. This post reveals my evolving philosophy for choosing a 'Minimum Viable Stack' – focusing on familiarity, speed, and cost-effectiveness over shiny new tech. I'll share specific lessons learned from past tech stack experiments (both good and bad) and a simple decision-making framework to help you pick the right tools to ship your MVPs faster.

Even with 'simple' tools like Supabase and Next.js, technical debt can pile up. I share my real-world struggles with maintaining a lean stack and my strategies for managing future headaches.

Sharing the story of my first major MVP failure, the emotional toll, and the practical framework I now use to validate ideas *before* writing a single line of code.
