dedicated developers or scaling with freelancers first

We started with freelancers for an MVP, and that was enough to validate the idea. The issue came when we needed consistent architecture decisions — that’s where things got messy. Eventually, we moved to a dedicated setup and it helped a lot with stability and planning ahead instead of constantly reworking earlier code. At one point we explored different teams and ended up working with a structured group we found via Digis, which made communication and sprint planning way more predictable. I wouldn’t say freelancers are bad, but dedicated developers are just easier when the product stops being “small experiments” and becomes a real system.
