Anh Nguyen

I once hired 5 new engineers in 2 weeks just to meet deadlines. After 2 months, I lost my job.

When I was a first-time tech lead at a startup in 2018.

I faced technical debt piling up and missing deadlines.

While stakeholders were losing patience.

Under pressure, I decided to hire 5 new engineers in 2 weeks.

Hoping more people would fix problems faster.

But that was when the disaster happened.

Senior developers became part-time mentors.

Existing problems remained unfixed.

Salary costs up 1.5x but delivery speed even dropped.

After 2 months, I was fired and most new hires left.

I was depressed but learned a valuable lesson.

Process and system make productivity, not team size.

Now we apply one approach for every software project:

Start small with a lean team.

Optimize the working process.

Only add new people if they fit the flow.

Adding developers to a broken process is like adding fuel to a fire.

Fix the system first.

I helped 50+ founders build & scale apps/platforms. Co-Founder at Politetech. Looking for instant developers to build software? Let’s chat | Grab FREE tools in my Featured.

3 years ago, we were just 5 young people with a shared ambition. I still can’t believe we are a family of 60+ members now.

On this day 2022, Politetech Software was born.

We started with only one client, one project.

Worked until midnight, slept on a couch in a 20m2 room.

Delivered with the highest care and dedication.

Changed office once after one year.

Today, on our 3rd Anniversary.

We move to a newer office again.

More convenient and larger for a bigger team.

We've helped 50+ founders build apps/platforms with their ambitious vision.

Many are still with us for 2+ years.

Our non-negotiables never change:

Transparency.
Direct member access.
Over communication.

I'm grateful to all my teammates, colleagues and clients for growing Politetech together.

If you need a dev team to build, let's chat. We're always happy to help.

I’d always thought tech excellence = complexity until I was outsmarted by an admin mom.

When I was still a junior dev 10 years ago,

I was assigned to create a simple sign-up flow for a web app managing a business’s camping service for children.

I thought I made the most attractive sign-up form in the world with:

Fancy animations and stickers.
Detailed step-by-step instructions.
20+ fun questions.

But after 3 days, my manager told me 80% leads quit at the registration.

I thought there must've been a technical error.

When I showed it to my colleagues, the admin officer said:

“As a mom, I don’t want to answer 20+ questions upfront. I’d quit at half way.

Why don’t you split the registration into two phases:

Initial signup only requires Name, Email and Payment.

After payment, it’s profile completion with remaining details.

Once parents already pay, they will be committed to filling in long forms.”

I tweaked the flow as she suggested. And miracle happened.

Results came instantly the next week with doubled conversion rate.

I learned a great lesson from an unexpected mentor.

When you build software, learn your users’ insights

Let them navigate with simplicity.

I've worked with 200+ engineers over the past 5 years, and noticed the best ones never touched any code before jumping in.

Instead, they assess carefully these 3 non-tech areas first.

1, Team dynamics.

- How well does the team communicate?
- Do people support each other?

2, Leadership alignment.

- Are the leaders aware of technical cost?
- Is there clear decision-making process?

3, External dependencies that could be blockers.

- Third-party integrations
- Legacy systems
- Legal requirements

I saw many software projects fail not from bad code, but more from:

- Bad team culture
- Misaligned expectations
- Hidden technical constraints

That's why at Politetech, we focus on:

1, Creating transparent communication.
2, Identifying blockers early.
3, Setting realistic expectations.

Great engineers are the ones who understand people and business context, not just code.

Focus on this trait when you're hiring anyone.

My friend spent $3k launching on Product Hunt, it was even considered successful. All he got back was 18 free users.

He paid for the Pro Launch package.

Got featured on the homepage.

Ranked #1 for 2 days.

Generated 2,000 web visitors.

But behind it, the real stats were:

18 free signups.

No paid.

90% traffic gone after 48 hours.

Product Hunt now seems like an ego metric factory.

It’s where tech hunters look for free stuff.

Not your real customers.

Just ask yourself:

Do you ever seek something you need on PH?

Don’t chase upvotes for ego.

Find real customers instead.

What’s your product launch strategy?

My friend couldn’t scale his startup because his founding engineer was a genius.

The engineer built a product fast with what he called “zero tech debt.”

But his brilliant work soon became the biggest blocker due to:

- Unpopular tech stacks & frameworks.
- His own coding patterns.
- Sloppy documentation.

When my friend tried to hire extra developers to scale up.

All candidates struggled to understand the logic and architecture.

The engineer rejected everyone as "under-qualified".

A few who joined couldn't survive his toxic style.

After 3 months of scaling.

5 developers left.

Tasks piled up in backlog.

Development still stuck with one person.

You don’t own your business if it’s stucked with one man.

Don't let technical brilliance become a bottleneck.

Be careful with your genius engineer.
