Interesting perspective. What I'm hearing you say is that it's more often a crappy process and poor relationship management that leads to suboptimal results.

Interesting perspective. What I'm hearing you say is that it's more often a crappy process and poor relationship management that leads to suboptimal results. That's kind of like saying hiring good people and investing in them in always a solid strategy, if you have the resources to do so. If your resources are too tight to hire good people, or you neglect the good people on your team, you're gonna have a bad time. It's hard enough to build good software when your team is capable!
- throwme_1980 10y agoExactly how teams fail, they skim on what's important, i am not saying you should be hiring A players from the start all the way, in my personal opinion, 90% of commercial software can be built with a bunch of honest average-joe-follow-instructions developers who will execute a sound idea/vision, this is assuming that YOU are the A player and you know what you're doing. Once the revenues start to come in, feel free to go through the pain of hiring of A players, which is only half the journey, you need to also retain them by ring fencing piles of cash (bonuses, perks etc...) through out their time in your company, it is not for the faint hearted
