Long story short, fix the hiring process in tech and you'll see a much better outcome. Customers and Users ain't care about my GPA, they want pretty solutions. Hire people who know how to build nice products, not how to sort a linked list in 2 minutes on a whiteboard under pressure. Google started that trend back in 2000 and everyone followed... Guess what, Google products have always been the worst products out there in terms of User Experience.
- afarrell 9y ago3/ When building a product team, instill a culture of starting with “why?” Before building things. A clear focus on the job that your product actually does for people and Why that job matters should inform all design decisions.
