Finding someone takes months. Getting them up to speed takes more.

3+ months to hire. Another 3 to full productivity. By then, you've shipped slow for two quarters.

And once you have them, the meter never stops.

$200K+ a year- whether it's a week of critical incidents or two weeks of silence. The work is variable. The cost isn't.
