The article seems to me to have lots of information on hiring and very little on scaling. In my experience hiring is one of the smaller problems in scaling, the largest by far is how you avoid massive drops in individual productivity that if unchecked come with large teams delivering complex functionality. It's a technical problem for engineers to solve more than it's an HR or management problem.
- gcbw2 8y agoif you hire people that won't do bullshit job over and over, you end up with a organization that doesn't have that kind of problem. You can see this happen in places that have layoffs every now and then, or that hires a dozen contractors for each fulltime employee. When that happens, you have people doing automation job while hoarding knowledge of which button to press, then you get to the point you describe.
