The One-Man Framework

I build fast when the stack stays boring.

Why this matters

Shipping weekly means every layer must be predictable:

• one deploy path
• one clear data model
• one place to debug

Rails keeps those constraints by default.

What I optimize for

1. Short feedback loops
2. Low operational overhead
3. Readable conventions over custom architecture

Tradeoffs

JavaScript-heavy stacks are great when you have specialized teams. For a solo founder, the integration tax is often the bottleneck.

Current rule

Use the simplest stack that ships in days, not weeks.
