I am extremely partial to solo developing. All businesses I launch are 1 man shows with close to $0 invested. I am always looking for low risk-high reward scenarios. Just launched my first company in over 5 years today, and my first product hunt launch.

@josh_starr I launched Poket Dev today on PH. An unlimited software development subscription. Previously I launched Viral Social which was a majority automated social media advertising company with a reach to over 100m followers between twitter and instagram.

I read this quote from somewhere If you wanna go fast go alone If you wanna do something big do it together. End of the battle.

@jeeiee just for an example. You have an idea of making an app. You made and launched. But when it comes to idea aka improve the app. You need different mindset than yours. It will help to catch more audience and you will learn from each another. So, more people = more ideas = results in better design and can make it big. Remember not every idea is good. You need to test them even some of your ideas too. Good luck

@jeeiee @rds1 Notion was 2 guys for a long time. And they would still be 2 people if they didn't have a billion customers. More people -> more problems

@sentry_co you have set your mindset for more problems tbh. What you can do is to hire some people with an experience. If I were at you. I would take an interview and ask them how you can help me to grow my app. Like give an idea. The person who will give genuine idea would get hired. Yeah you can ask more questions regarding team working too. ( can google questions just to make interview professional) Good luck :)

@rds1 I worked in huge teams with super talented people. But huge teams have their problems. 4 people does not mean 4x speed. more like 2.3x if you're lucky. In the age of automation and AI you an do a lot with few hands.

I don't think this is an option, if you have money you can hire a team otherwise you go on alone or with 1-2 friends that really believe in your project. But at the end when the first money start to flow you need to hire a team since none know all. There are too much fields to cover, front-end back end, AWS or similars, security, marketing, laws etc...
