Confirming a hypothesis I put forth in a different comment: Would you say you and your team have ownership of the product?

That is to say, there isn't one team doing what you're doing and then another separate team trying to graft new features on all the time, is there? Maybe there is, and maybe that causes issues down the line.

We do have ownership, and I try and structure the development such that every engineer has ownership, decision making power and accountability. I aim for a flat responsibility structure as much as possible. We have lots of work to do, lots of changes in process and despite the constraints we have a steady stream of features we do add.

The trick is to ensure the culture of solid engineering goes right through the organisation and informs everything from commercial/financial through to QA.

Are you guys hiring. I pride myself on writing short, simple and readable code.
