How much of your company’s revenue is earned through that product? If it’s significant then the cost of introducing regressions in quality or functionality goes up. As companies grow and mistakes become more costly, they become more risk-averse and invest more resources into reducing risk. This slows things down and requires more people.
- Aqueous 3y agoVery good point - a huge chunk of the slowdown also comes from all the work around ensuring operational excellence. Monitoring, dashboards, testing, logging, CI. It's an incredible amount of labor to create production quality software on a continuous basis.
