My way of planning and writing software shifted a good bit after I went from working at a mid-size tech company to working for myself. Suddenly I cared very much about how long it took to reach a functional product and very little about developing sophisticated architectures.

Simple UX too. Early adopters are so much more forgiving of a boring but functional user interface than we want to admit. It doesn't have to look amazing out of the gate. It just needs to do something cool.

Plus a lot of our overcomplicated architectures on the frontend are because we shoot for a UI that competes with products that have been iterated on for 15 years now by teams of dozens or even hundreds.

Same here. This is what happens when business/developer interests align.
