Hiring outlast your deadlines
Three months to fill a suitable role and maybe two more to onboarding. By the time they're productive, the sprint has moved on without them.
They know code, not context
Technical skills are necessary, not sufficient. The engineers joining your team need to understand what you're building and why.
More people, same pace
You add more people, and the team gets slower. More meetings, more coordination, and the work doesn't move any faster.
