I was the first engineer hire at a small startup, and have helped our CTO/Co-founder grow the company over the past 3 years.

All I can say, is that almost everything that was said here was the exact experience we had. Even down to the choice of Angular 1.X and rewriting all of the IIFEs in our codebase to use ES6 imports with babel.

I also need to acknowledge that PM is something that you do fine with 2 people, but your processes will fall apart, probably as soon as you even hit 4 or 5 people.
