Turns out delegation is very hard and the ongoing costs of having a larger staff are enormous in many different dimensions, and especially on your ability to think clearly and update organizational strategy in response to evidence. If you are building in-person infrastructure, you need to have some design skills, otherwise you will repeatedly be blocked in external designers, and you won’t be able to tell which designers are good, and you will fail to communicate your design requirements to your designers.
I have also spent dozens of hours doing that!
