100% agree with
@levie. Very important to preserve the “small” in teams. Even without meaning to, a 6 person team grows to 12 people and paradoxically slows down by 50%. versus speeding up 2x. Free riding, lack of accountability, poor alignment all increase with team size > 6.
Speed is your single biggest advantage in tech. Everything about the world is slow and will grind you to a halt if you let it. This is why small teams, hyper aligned, with few constraints -whether in a big company or small startup- end up driving the biggest change.
