I realized it's time to focus on the process of development

I used to think I needed more developers, Now I thing I need a really well defined repeatable process for fixing bugs and putting tests in place to prove the bug, the fix and prevent the bug from happening again because of future changes. Also, I need more developers.

So, on a Saturday night, instead of just fixing a bug, I'm creating an acceptance test, fixing the bug, proving the bug is fixed with the test and also writing a document that is not totally complete, I still have to finish figuring out how to work this new system into a continuous integration workflow, and is already 1700+ words.

Normally on a Saturday night, I'd be writing some totally off topic code for fun/ learning or watching TV. I'm doing this because I can't keep doing 3 people's jobs at the same time forever.

And I'm not complaining that I'm spending more time on process then code. Besides the fact that this will help me code better, it will also help me manage the team as it growths and have a better product for our users, I actually think this process, while less concrete then writing code is still engineering. Seeing it that way makes it fun and makes it possible for me to think this way.

I think, this is going to make me a lot better at what I do, and that's really exciting.
