No I wasn't really outraged at all. My stance is that at some point you should stop trying to hire "full stack" developers. Chances are, they're not very good at everything and will miss some tiny detail that blows up big or creates a mountain of technical debt. Outside the founders and first three engineers, you shouldn't be hiring "full stack." You should start to specialize and start fixing the first five employee's problems.
As the business grows, you're going to need some specialization skills for some project or deal that comes your way. You should hire the right person for that job. Chances are, you needed them all along and this situation is a good catalyst to get them in.
