Okay, I mean conceptually cool, but it's not like an existing startup gonna throw away all their code and rewrite it to save on dev-ops time.

I guess the value prop is that if you're starting from scratch, and want to write your whole app in Dark then you can avoid hiring a dev-ops engineer and iterate faster?

Seems like a stiff trade-off. If it's an interpreted language you're coming from, setting up envs can be < 30 secs anyways (and same with prod deploys), so that's faster than you need.

If it's a compiled language you're coming from (e.g. scala/c++) then it's likely Dark may not match your needs.

Plus I guess this assumes every team in your company is using only dark? Like what if it's a SOA and a full environment has a node component?
