Compensation seems to be surprisingly missing from this list. If I work at a FANG company, and you're just getting started, chances are you won't be able to compete nearly as well as compensation. That's not to say that compensation is the only thing people work for -- though it is a large part -- but you must offer something especially unique to set yourself apart.
- solipsism 9y agoThe very first section is Let's (briefly) talk about pay.
- Y7ZCQtNo39 9y agoIt wasn't a part of the numbered list of things. The author didn't even treat it as a first-class thing to be talking about when considering "trouble hiring developers".
- jabzd 9y agoIt was a preface to that list, as in "if you don't solve this one, don't bother reading the rest of the list." That makes it the most important thing...that's how I read it anyways.
- mcondit 9y agoYes, I believe that is definitely what the author was going for. If you don't pay market rate for development, you're 9 out of 10 times going to regret it.
