I've run projects before that had over 1500 automated tests..mostly written by myself, it was beautiful and so simple to make invasive changes. We have a lot of catch up to do right now, but i think thats what "startups" often do. We will catch up with the tests in the next month or so, at the end of the day I know perfectly well that without them pivoting and making invasive changes will simply be next to impossible.

And how often did you have to rewrite those tests because you were drastically changing the architecture of your code?

Do you think the effort of maintaining all those tests might not have paid off? This question is very tricky to answer.
