Focus on building 10x teams, not on hiring 10x developers
Avichal Garg CEO of Spool
Software development, however, is more like rowing. It’s a team sport that requires skill and synchronization. This applies at all scales. On a three-person boat, one person out of sync will stall your boat. As you get bigger, no single developer can impact your team’s performance, so again synchronization is key.
Making your team as efficient as possible is what determines long-term success.
It’s true, just having one person off and you’ll be going in circles.

Perfect description of what being with the right team feels like.
“You’re sitting with some guys, and you’re playing and you go, “ooh, yeah!” That feeling is worth more than anything. There’s a certain moment when you realize that you’ve actually just left the planet for a bit and that nobody can touch you. You’re elevated because you’re with a bunch of guys that want to do that same thing as you. And when it works, baby, you’ve got wings”
