Brings me back too. But what stayed stuck on my memory, was something i read here on HN: at some point, one yahoo dev added his affiliate code to the links !!
I'm leading an in-house team that's developing a custom software for a niche financial institution.
The original product was outsourced to a software factory, forward 2 years and they decided this project wasn't worth their time and left.
I took the responsibility of moving the project forward, then with only another dev.
What worked great to me as dev?
. the direct connection with the CEO as he became a high level PO. With this arrange we were always sure that our work was giving value to the business.
. I learned a LOT about the business and loved it
. I was in charge of growing the team when the amount of work justified it. I got several wonderful devs onboard.
What worked great for the business?
. they decided and prioritized the direction of the (customized) product.
. they understood the strategic constraints and possibilities of their software
what was tough for all?
. at least the first full year, was spent killing bugs and making the project work properly. Operations needed too much support in that initial period. Stressfull times.
Starting with a pair of Senior Devs is a good choice IMHO. If you trust them, even better.
Those points I mention above that I found great, are your selling points to hire some good Developers.
