While there’s a lot of things I don’t like about “startup culture” - long hours, pressure, hustle, brogrammer parties, there’s one thing that’s really valuable if you choose to participate - the experience.

There’s no other place where you can learn so fast so many aspects that are crucial to becoming a solid developer:

• shaping the product
• making trade-offs and feeling their consequences
• owning you whole stack
• planning and prioritising your work
• the difference between “good” and “good enough”

If you choose to go down this route, there’s plenty of lessons to be learnt. But it’s only worth it if you’re open to them.

​

Have a good one,

Wojciech
