Founders love copying the "hire fast, scale fast" playbook.
At the early stage, that's actually a trap.
You can hit $1M ARR today without hiring a single person.
Push further and $5M, even $10M, is doable solo with AI.
Every early hire is a bet, and most of those bets go wrong.
Wrong person, wasted time, culture damage before you even find PMF.
Let AI do the job.
Hire humans only once you actually need them.
57 years ago today, humans first landed on the Moon. The source code that helped get them there? It’s on GitHub.
Margaret Hamilton led the MIT team responsible for Apollo’s onboard flight software. The Apollo Guidance Computer software eventually grew to about 145,000 lines of code. 👀

One of the more subtle pitfalls of starting a startup when you're too young is that you can't hire well, because you haven't had enough experience to be a good judge of people. You can judge technical ability but not character, so you end up hiring smart jerks.
Confidence doesn't come from believing in yourself. It comes from having done the uncomfortable thing enough times that your nervous system stops flagging it as an emergency. Because nothing is actually hard, it's just unfamiliar.
