>Startups demand that you build somewhat hacks solutions for the sake of time.

So do large corporations. This is not a factor of how large your company is, it's a factor of how forward thinking your technology leadership is. If they're not thinking further than the next three months, it's pretty much always going to be a hack.




True of course, but with startups this is more of a necessary evil; for larger organizations it is a sign of engineering dysfunction.


IME large corps always go for the "quick wins". They get external companies in to tell them the things their employees already told them about, and then it's a box ticking exercise to race through that list before their next progress meeting...
