When reading the article I was ready to accept some of practical advice, but lack of empathy makes me not want to listen to the author.
- AdrianB1 7y agoThe value of an article does not come from the empathy of the author. For example, my physics manual was very cold describing the formula for acceleration, but I did not ignore it because of that.
- TheOtherHobbes 7y agoCompetence is not a Boolean, and hiring is not a physics problem. If you don't understand why you're hiring people, and what specific skills, psychological mindset and attitude, and abilities you're looking for - not assumed, but rationally chosen, preferably with some peer input - then you'll be bad at it. OP obviously wants waterfall programmers - give them a predigested problem of limited scope, set them loose, and pick up working code in $time_interval. That's actually fine for some jobs, but it's going to be a disaster in other contexts.
