A 15-year veteran developer watching the latest wave of crypto founders move at light speed: cobble together an enterprise-grade app over a weekend, pitch it Monday morning, land funding by Friday. The clash between meticulous engineering practices and this move-fast-break-things startup ethos in Web3 is surreal. One camp swears by architecture, testing, and scalability. The other ships first, debugs later—and somehow the investors are already cutting checks. Makes you wonder what the real differentiator is: solid fundamentals or just riding the hype cycle? Either way, it's reshaping what 'ready for production' even means in crypto.
