I did say "These don't apply to everyone but:" and then gave my generic list of stuff that works for a lot of people.

I get that some people can just run a single go binary or whatever. The ones that don't, need to set themselves up to grow easily when they need to. Having some sort of basic plan or framework that doesn't take more than a week to set up is due diligence, and hiring (when your need to) will be much easier.
