Discussion on: What are the dos and dont of building a startup as a developer?

Some lessons I’ve learned from a start-up I worked at which failed :)

• don’t start a start-up for the sake of running a start-up. You should have a product vision first.
• don’t try to run both business and tech, know field of expertise and get someone else to cover the rest as sparring partner
• do start with an MVP first to get to get customer feedback quickly instead developing 2 years on a full-blown solution nobody needs
• don’t hire only junior developers because they are “cheap”, get at least one or two seniors.
