Drawing from both my personal experience and observing my peers managing everything from startups to large enterprises, it's clear that assembling the right team poses a universal challenge. Determining whom to hire, negotiating salaries, and pinpointing necessary skills can be overwhelming — especially for non-technical leaders who may find the technical aspects perplexing.
For instance, opting for a cheaper, less robust architecture might save upfront costs but can lead to significant expenditures down the line as the need for scalability and integration with other advanced systems grows. On the other hand, for startups testing a new concept or market, minimizing initial costs can be crucial. Such companies might consider launching with an MVP that isn't heavily invested in. This approach allows them to test the waters before committing significant resources.
