Simple systems have less downtime

As a former naval architect and a current marketing consultant to startups, I found that the same principle that lets a 13-person crew navigate the world’s largest container ship to a port halfway around the world without breaking down also applies to startups working towards aggressive growth goals

I kind of agree with him. I have faced a couple of overcomplicated things in my life. But the worst is not that, it is the "never change a running system" mentality used to the limit. If you already find the problem (or I find it for you), please try to solve it (or let my try it if I think I can really solve it) before it explodes in (y)our face. :doh: Side note: The "Redundancy" picture :thumbsup: :laugh: :laugh:
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. "Proficiency takes less time", "Troubleshooting takes less time", etc. Let's not dwell on the fact that designing a simple system takes either (and sometimes both): • Ten times as long • A large wealth of experience Neither of which is readily available to most start-ups. He might as well tell them that all they need is five billion euros (real billions, not the tiny US ones).
