The One-Person Development Army
The one-person army known as "indie game developer" in their natural habitat. While AAA studios have entire departments for each role, indie devs are sitting there with name tags for Producer, Director, Actor, Editor, Writer, and Creative... because that's just Tuesday morning before coffee. The other 37 job titles didn't fit on the table. Budget? What budget? Sleep schedule? Never heard of her. But hey, at least no one can reject your pull requests when you're the entire git history.

When your budget is $0 and your team is just you staring at a computer for 18 hours a day, you tend to wear a lot of hats. Independent game developers don't have the luxury of specialized roles - they're the entire credits sequence rolled into one sleep-deprived human. "Producer, Director, Actor, Editor, Writer, Visual Effects, Creative" isn't a panel discussion - it's Tuesday. The rest of the week looks suspiciously similar, except with more coffee stains and increasingly concerning Google searches like "how to make game when no sleep for 72 hours" and "is it normal for code to appear in dreams."

Startup life in a nutshell! You sign up thinking you'll be one cog in a well-oiled machine, but three weeks in you're suddenly the entire engineering department, DevOps team, and occasional office plant waterer. Nothing says "career growth" like frantically Googling how to configure AWS while simultaneously fixing production bugs and pitching to investors. The classic startup journey: from "I'm not in the team" to "I AM the team" faster than you can say "we're pivoting our business model." The only thing missing from this meme is the haunted look in your eyes when someone asks "who's handling the database migration?"
