> If you read this far hoping for an answer, then I’m sorry: I don’t have a simple one. This is a difficult problem to solve. The solution is too large for a single blog post, changes every day, and differs subtly for every project. [Cough] - Hire a few more (expensive) experienced developers? It might not be a silver bullet, but it goes a long way towards avoiding the situation described in the blog post. Also, get help from a trusted technical friend to hire the initial one. FWIW I see something similar with almost every client I get in my own neck of the wood. Growth is flat. Turns out nobody is worrying about whether they're building a product anyone wants - they're doing it on paper but nobody is actually talking to end-users. Marketing is under-delivering. Turns out it's all juniors worrying about bringing traffic without wondering if it's the right type of traffic; or they're not measuring anything, plain and simple. Sales aren't selling enough. Turns out it's all juniors who aren't selective or systematic enough; or sales are doubling as pseudo-project managers and/or pseudo support-engineers because nobody is managing operations. Projects take forever to deliver. Turns out the project "manager" holds nobody accountable to deliver any specific task let alone by a certain deadline. The list could go on, and on, and on.
