YOLO: Get to an MVP fast
Blog post from Convex
The text provides strategies for rapidly achieving a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) in software development without becoming constrained by industry best practices or complex infrastructure. It emphasizes the importance of fast iteration cycles and offers practical tips such as committing code frequently, using logs effectively, and experimenting with queries interactively. The text advises against prematurely incorporating complex tools like containerization, CI/CD pipelines, or low-level cloud platforms, suggesting instead to focus on locally developing and deploying changes quickly. It also recommends creating an auth-free version initially, delaying schema validation, and using snapshot exports to experiment with significant changes. The emphasis is on reducing feedback loops and avoiding unnecessary complexity until the application matures, allowing developers to focus on core functionality and iterate swiftly.
