In Elixir Slack, Nick Petalas said this about a hypothetical scaling issue:
I’ve heard of it referred to as yacht problems, as in you’ll either never have to deal with it or when you get to that stage you can just pay people to fix it, from your yacht
While I don't aspire to own a business or a yacht, this is pithy. I propose that the opposite of a yacht problem is a "yurt problem": you'll never move out of your yurt unless you solve it.
So:
- Selling your product in every country on earth: yacht problem
- Making something people want: yurt problem
- Processing 10k transactions a second: yacht problem
- Charging the right amount of money: yurt problem
