Small Teams Large Impact

Some of the most impactful software products in recent memory were built by teams of five or fewer engineers. This isn't a coincidence - it's a repeatable pattern tied to how small teams make decisions, communicate, and eliminate overhead.

Large organisations spend significant resources aligning people before making decisions. Small teams decide, ship, and learn in the time it takes a large organisation to schedule the alignment meeting. That speed compounds over hundreds of iterations.

Small teams that ship a lot tend to share a ruthlessness about what they don't build. Every feature that doesn't directly serve the core use case is a candidate for removal. Constraints aren't obstacles - they're the forcing function that creates focus.
