I don’t think I’ll ever forgive Microsoft for hiring the single greatest group of humans I’ll most likely ever work with and then making it impossible for us to stay.
@jnardiello In our experience having 1 or 2 retreat each year is a must. Let people meet whenever they want paying for travel expenses could help. Also have dedicsted slack channel to non working topics can work. Most of all don't forget to have fun any time you can,even in online meetings

Development speed is not worth fretting about. Deliver value. When you work with deliberation & competence, you are working as fast as you can. Wishing will not change that. In any event, if it's truly valuable, you have no choice about building it, no matter how long it takes.
The recommendation I give everybody starting up in tech is: read the source.
Are you using a library that you like? Read it.
Have you got a bug you can’t solve? Read the source of the dependencies.
Somebody is pitching a framework as magical? Read it.
No matter what, read code.
