This feels unnecessarily antagonistic. "If you were experienced, you would have made the right decision, _obviously_."

Did Fly.io kick your puppy or something?

I can see how it would be interpreted that way, and I apologize if it came across that way, but it wasn’t my intent. See my other comment below. What I’m really saying is that we need to be better about engaging subject matter experts early on when we are selecting technologies to power core business functions; and I think it’s a good illustration of why we need to continue to hire experienced people at startups.

That's a fair point... but at the same time, we shouldn't hold off on starting something just because we don't have perfect information.
