You understand that in realistic professional scenarios it's rather the boss (especially a technical boss), that will dictate that it's ok to have something easier to develop with.

Poor user experience doesn't mean much if you are not on the market soon enough.

Which should be obvious on HN, and it's a point PG himself has iterated several times...

There are a lot of devs on here with little to no real world experience or not enough to make sound judgements as far as I can tell anyway. I'm not sure if it's better to enlighten them or to ignore them since they are the sort of people that are willing to post their baseless opinions for the world to see.

"Poor user experience doesn't mean much if you are not on the market soon enough."

90% of the time this doesn't apply. The "need it done last week" attitude is mostly undeserved.

For enterprise projects, yes. For startups competing for eyeballs, it's quite important.

Again, I don't believe that. A month? Sure. A week? No.
