The company's tech stack will immediately be a fundamental part of how your engineering team works and operates. This is especially true in the early stages of a company when you need to confirm or reject your hypothesis as quickly as possible. For every hour you or another engineer spend configuring, debug, or learning a new system, that's an hour not spent iterating on the product to maximize learnings and value delivered to your users. The overall goal can be summarized as this: minimize time spent on non-feature engineering work.
