Sounds odd to me that you'd accept his actions that feel like a price to pay (which I take as a loss of business value) in order to get a great hire.
But If they are doing things that are destroying value then are they so great? Or maybe they are great but not a good fit for you. I.e. they need a Google not a Crud Inc.
- dmritard96 10y agoWe didn't 'accept his actions' but instead he told us upfront that he was partial to working in certain languages and frameworks. We mulled it over before agreeing and coulnd't be happier. He is great because he is great to work with, highly productive, self motivated, and brilliant. Sure, I could have hired a dev that only did the exact same things as me, but I might be tempted to get into the weeds more than I probably should. You defining 'his actions' as destroying business value is a poor mischaracterization as he has created enormous amounts of business value. Couldn't be happier with our decision on this.
