The culture of small teams
Why the best software often comes from two or three people who trust each other and own outcomes.
Small is a feature
Small teams don't scale by adding people. They scale by removing ceremony. Fewer handoffs means the person who decides is the person who knows.
A small team that ships weekly beats a large team that syncs monthly.
The enemy of small teams is not size — it's the slow accumulation of process that nobody remembers agreeing to.
