Great post by @smalzner, the founder of Franz
He launched 10 years ago, went superviral, got lots of offers to get VC funded, didn't see the point
Instead he asked for donations from users and with that money was able to hire a team of 5 people
But a team slowed him down and made him very money focused (because he had high labor costs) and less fast in shipping (because of the design by committee problem)
So he fired everyone and went back to a team of one
Just him (and probably AI) shipping very very fast!
