> There's like this uncanny valley between freelancing and having a stable team / process structure (aka company) Perfect one-liner. I've found myself at the edge, and sometimes going in to that valley, for years. Finding the combination of people and process to get through that is more work than most people imagine, and a whole lot of risk. You get to the point where you can hire/contract one other person? That person better tick a lot of boxes, or you better be able to ramp up to X people quickly. Having a whole lot of effort in to one person, then to have them leave, loses you a whole lot of time/money/effort. Getting to a team of 4-5, which I've seen folks do, reduces that risk a lot, but figuring out how to get there and remain stable ... haven't done it myself, and have seen others try and fail (and some succeed, to be sure).
