You can hire 10 excellent developers and still build a terrible software product. Sounds strange? Think about how software actually gets built. Someone needs to understand the business problem. Someone needs to translate that problem into clear requirements. Someone needs to design an experience users can understand. Someone needs to develop the solution. And someone needs to verify that it works as expected. This involves different responsibilities: → Business analysis → Product and project management → UI/UX design → Software architecture → Development → Quality assurance In smaller teams, one person may handle several of these responsibilities. That's completely fine. The problem starts when important responsibilities are ignored. Even the best developer cannot reliably build the right solution from misunderstood requirements. And even beautifully written code cannot fix a product nobody wants. Software development is a team outcome, not an individual coding competition. Strong developers are valuable. But strong collaboration is what turns their work into a successful product.
