"A: Nope! Everyone just sucks." I do think this attitude genuinely limits many startups. Software engineers will always be the first to take up hobbies like fixing old motorcycles or building a house from scratch, yet they view mediocre engineers as things that can't be fixed up in the same way. A mediocre engineer is actually a really good bargain. Obviously a great engineer who doesn't know it is ideal but I'd toss them in with the mediocre engineers for that reason.
