Comment on Ask HN: CTO to-do list for new software product startupparent

Comments

Startup Owner's Manual is great. However I'm looking for a much more technical to-do list... i.e., here is the best practice for dev-ops, here is the best practice for security, here is the best practice for data lakes, etc. Understandably these will vary greatly org to org, and are bound to be biased, yet having a collection of these lists will help myself and others distill what is needed for a specific org.

I think on the technical end, if you're serious about writing a valid checklist, it will probably be as easy to write code that does it. And those end up as frameworks, even if it's as simple as https://html5boilerplate.com/

There's a lot of noise out there because of all the consultants trying to do marketing. And while some, like Falsehoods Programmers Believe About Names [1] are actually helpful, the line between what should be acted on and what should be ignored isn't clear.
