With early stage business/startup capital is scarce.
We're hiring one off, using contractors for focused products that ship. Modules of the whole.
100% of the solicitors of team things all have the same juggling and sorting I have to do with individuals. But the cost is more. And the work expectation is more. We'll build your whole app!!
Great! Now I've spent a bunch of time and money to build expertise in my problem domain yet nobody is on MY team.

- edoceo 9y agoIt is faster and costs less to evaluate one person on one narrow task than to evaluate a team on a large task. The resulting work can be incorporated into the main by the existing staff faster. And a startup has this pattern more often than the large project pattern that needs a team. Once you grow, it's a different game.
