>Wow. I wonder, have you and this smug author ever considered that you are the problem? I'm positive I am part of the problem but I haven't found a better way for me to build a top notch team given my skill set and inclinations. As we grew I hired a good engineering manager who was able to reduce that ratio significantly. To reiterate, in the interview process I explicitly lay out the methodology and all the risks involved as I understand the pain, stress and cost that a failed hiring causes. The end result of all of this was a very talented and efficient team that produced a great product which dominates it's vertical.
