You start by writing lines of code yourself, then hire developers to produce more. Over time you can add roles like Product Manager, UX Designer, Architect, and SRE. You can also add AI agents. With upgrades you shape the team’s structure and culture to try to build a healthy organization.
Some familiar dynamics appear quickly: bugs appear depending on the team you run (fleets of AI agents generate a lot), tech debt grows unless you refactor, and if you ignore it long enough you eventually hit a forced rewrite (game over). Once the codebase feels stable enough, you release v1.0 and the cycle starts again.
