There is always a good debate on HN about hiring, but it feels like we really are comparing apples to oranges here.
Hiring tactics depend heavily on the size of the organisation. They have to: for a 3-people startup you want someone who will break walls and get stuff done, for a thousand-people-heavy dev team you need people who can do one job very precisely. Those tasks require very different personalities, so naturally, very different hiring questions.
