People take holidays, get sick and change jobs - having 1-3 ppl team means you'll hit brick wall that will hurt sooner or later, more so if at least one of devs was really good.
- marginalia_nu 3y agoThis is a real concern if you're looking at it as someone who is managing people... but a 1-3 person team does not need a manager to tell them what to do, and generally is not hired but spontaneously organized. It's an inherently more unpredictable way of working, but that definitely cuts both ways. There are definitely more risks, but also far greater payoffs in terms of what you can do working in this fashion. The principle of ensuring predictable velocity across a team comes a cost of limiting maximal produtivity amongst talented individuals.
