> scaling is also about code

Which is darn hard if you are a beginner in a framework, loops in loops still bites me after reality does the integration test for me. This is especially true when you try to do a simple thing as a beginner. By scaling I am just talking about normal production, going from 2 developers to a couple of thousand customers.
