    Solo dev that hires a bunch of contractors?

    That’s like if I was saying I mow my lawn myself by paying a teenager to do it for me

      I mow the lawn myself but I outsourced the design and manufacturing of my mower. Same with string trimmer and leaf blower. I also buy my gasoline instead of making it myself.

        Yeah but in this case we don’t seem to be talking about building the tools for the dev (lawnmower/gas), it seems like contractors were hired to develop things that are the final product (mowed lawn).
