Best practices and old tech, no best practices and new tech, why not both
| Butchered that title...why haven’t can’t i have best practices and new technologies.
| best practices minimize risk, and newer unproven tech introduces more risk.
| why would you ever go risky tech without best practices?
| generally involving more risk means a higher return, be it faster time to deliver/production from less work spent mitigating risk in your example
| And then your users are the testers who discover how shitty your brand new product based on the latest flashy tech is. And the start up goes where 90% of all startups go: in Deadland.
I guess I need not continue more with my opinion about the first OP post dilemma.

| Just changed jobs from an old non profit to startup. Non profit had software engineers that followed best practices but tended to use older technology, but this startup has no best practices and the latest tech. Would you prefer standardized monolith with automated test and comprehensive documention or 10 micro services written differently with no automated tests and little documentation? (Assume micro services are same programming language...)
