I’ve had to hire a wide variety of services and contractors to help with different aspects of my business, and I recommend you consider the same when you require special expertise in critical areas. When you DIY it, you risk doing something wrong, or having to hire someone to fix it, which means you now wasted both time and money.

Do the engineers understand what they are building? And the same is true in reverse - a lone brilliant coder can build a great widget, but it takes a system of people working well together to produce consistently great results. Processes are always deteriorating or self-regulating. Can they tell a good release from a bad one?
