I was worried a bunch about this as my kids got into the sporting ages. But I've been rally pleasantly surprised. Maybe it's our particular town (Boston adjacent), but all the parents seem have things in perspective. Well, maybe not _all_ but by far the majority.


stripe atlas is good for incorporation.

rippling gets a ton of the other bullshit done. ramp for expenses mercury for bank account

you prob don't need official cap-table if you're bootstrapping, right? if you do a SAFE you can angel list and RUV and get the table.

defer everything you possibly can until post raise / reality in some form.

We debate everything ad nauseum at work. I'm going to try the FG scale. We'll see if I get fired for being disengaged.

Rails if I care about the project more than about the tech.

Python FastAPI if I want LLM backends.

commander-rb for CLI.

replit for projects I want to collaborate on with kids.


The big question with these is whether / how you expect people to update. Or whether you just start with it and then never update.

We did https://bullettrain.co/ but the longer we're on it the more painful upgrades are and we've basically given up now.

What is your approach to this?


I was considering Bullet Train for a new project. Would you advise against it? What would you suggest for something new today?
