14 million doing not so complex things is an easy achievement. When you get into a lot of microservices providing tons of features your teams will balloon.
"When you choose the right people you'll need only a few. When you don't, you'll need them all"
Look how X has diminished in quality as Elon started slashing team sizes.

"When you choose the right people you'll need only a few. When you don't, you'll need them all"
I think this idea hurts the industry. Don't get me wrong. I think it is important to hire the right people, but if you don't hire enough people this 3 man job is 80-100 hours a week per for months to years.
