Technology companies are, in the end, people companies. The code does not write itself. The customers do not trust themselves. The product decisions do not make themselves. Every line of competitive advantage in a technology startup traces back to a person — or a small group of people — who made a decision at the right time.
No one is irreplaceable in the sense that the company cannot continue without them. But some people are irreplaceable in the sense that replacing them takes longer than the company has. The solution is not to prevent the departure — it is to reduce the time-to-replacement before the departure happens.
