Combining AI editors, terminal agents, custom scripts, and observability tools works well for a solo developer. Once multiple people rely on the stack, gaps appear around review load, growing costs, and unshared workflow knowledge.

  • The problem: Custom scripts quickly fail as connective tissue when scaling past one engineer.
