See, this is silly. For me, a candidate who can't ship is not suitable for hiring. All other criteria come second.

- Dylanlacey 16y agoShipping is only valuable once: The first time they ship. Every time after that, they could be boiling your code into a morass of blood, sweat and Jolt, weaving the Cthulhu pattern around your other Engineers' souls. Ultimately, if you hire someone who ships, makes your code awful, pisses off your other engineers, doesn't document then chuffs off leaving you with a turd of an app and no-one to work on, their shipping only bought you N releases. A better engineer might have bought you <N releases... But prepared you for >N in the future.
