Ask HN: The three kinds of engineers throughout a company's life
I'm trying to find an article (and related comments) that I could have sworn I originally saw on HN. I've tried HN search to no success.
From what I remember, it described the three(?) types of engineers that are needed at a company throughout the company's lifetime of startup, growth, mature. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

- vqc 8y agoThis is not the exact post I was thinking of, but the one I'm thinking of is definitely an extension of this one. Having this post by jeff will definitely help me on my search. Thanks!
