Great article, Avneesh!

I like your emphasize on the importance of prototyping in the backend. It's not so common in backend, even though it's very useful to collect data and get early feedback.

From experience, prototyping helps greatly to discover feature gaps and refine requirements. It makes shipping to prod much easier and smoother.

Thank you so much for mentioning my article! I appreciate you. :)

Prototyping helps you fail fast and collect feedback early. Also, in terms of new products, a MVP can help find the product market fit

Great point about MVP. When you don't have product market fit then you code quality doesn't matter - infact your code doesn't matter. Do whatever it takes to put a working MVP in your customer's hands.
