Dedicated Team or Freelancers? What Actually Scales
One of these grows with your product. The other doesn't.
Freelancers are great for short projects and quick fixes. But when you need people who understand your codebase, your roadmap, and your team culture deeply enough to make real decisions, freelance relationships start to strain.
A dedicated team works differently: the same engineers, every day, fully integrated into your tools and rituals, building as a true extension of your in-house team rather than a rotating cast of contractors.
If retention and institutional knowledge matter to your product, this is the model that scales with you.
