If you have 1-2 engineers, then you have to build a product with a ruthlessly focused scope. Hopefully you do it well. If you have 20 engineers, then you have each one add new surface area each quarter, and then your app is 160 different things after a couple years. It's too bloated for anyone to like and it was too expensive to build to throw away. Sometimes it really needs to be that complicated, but I'm not sure adding 20% more engineering headcount indefinitely is sustainable for most businesses.
