Are you good at business requirements gathering? Environmental architecture? UX design? QA functional and regressional?

Fancy juggling AWS config and costs? Writing user manuals, help desk scripts?

On a scratch-itch OSS project you can ignore those. But when you plan to sell it, things scale quickly. Coding is just one arrow in quivver.

Most of those? There’s no point to me doing QA on my own product, and I hate writing any form of manual with a passion (things should be understandable without one).

But the point was mainly that the actual product is essentially a glorified crud application.

There is some value in having a larger team, but the time wasted is absolutely massive.
