I Analyzed 70 Startups' Codebases — The Ones With More Technical Debt Raised More Money An empirical study of 70 VC-backed companies reveals that technical debt doesn't slow startups down, and the 'move fast and break things' crowd was right all along — at least during the ZIRP era.

"Write clean code. You'll thank yourself later."

So I tested it. 70 startup codebases. 146 funding rounds.

Messy code + fast shipping = 60.6% funded.
Cleanest codebases = 44.4%.

Speed beat perfection - at least when capital was cheap.

frameworks for understanding databases building mental models for tradeoffs in performance, availability and durability in data systems

The inner join between sets of people who build databases, write, and draw? Low cardinality. I'm in that set, so I'm starting a blog!
