I would rather have people who care about their craftsmanship and are
indifferent about the product than people who care about the product and are
indifferent about the craftsmanship. The former ones do a good job regardless
of what the product is about.
- kjksf 9y ago"caring about craftsmanship" != "caring about elm" I care about craftsmanship even when I'm writing JavaScript. And when JavaScript is enough of a burden, I go to TypeScript, not Elm.
- cies 9y agoBut did you try Elm? Must say it's syntactically much sweeter than TS.
- michaelcampbell 9y agoIndifferent to either is a red flag for me; I'll take neither, thanks. You don't have to have one at the expense of the other.
- dozzie 9y agoDepends how good people you want on your team. If your bar is low, then you might find enough people above the skill threshold that care about your product, but there are plenty of good craftsmen who couldn't care less about your IPTV offering or some other SaaS for housewives, but who would put their skills to great use for either, just because they do care about how solid is the technical part.
