Web Scale But At What Cost

Startup founders building their tech stack like they're preparing for a billion users on day one! 😂 That architecture diagram is the definition of premature optimization - 47 microservices, 23 databases, and enough Kubernetes clusters to host Netflix... all to serve exactly ZERO users. Classic case of "we might need this someday" syndrome while the actual product hasn't even launched! The irony of spending months architecting for theoretical scale when what you really need is your first customer. Talk about putting the cart before 500 horses!
