Thanks for the valuable retrospective!

Could you expand a bit on the pros and cons of going smaller -vs- going bigger in that situation, and what motivated you to choose the way you did?

Also, do you feel the ambient culture/advice on that decision tried to push you in either direction?

Honestly it never even crossed our minds at the time of picking a 'smaller' path. The natural path was to continue scaling. It's only obvious with hindsight that there was another path.
