This is great advice (And in particular points out the harrowing tale of careful choices that need to be made in a 'clean slate' business).
This is a hard balance to make. Technical choices influence the kinds of staff you would want working for you but you also need to prolong/balance the interests of said staff from moving onto the next thing. (I'd love to know how businesses do this beyond just more money and share schemes but maybe this kind of thing just needs to be built into the plan)
- pavel_lishin 5y agoI'm not sure that technical choices are the #1 factor in people staying or going. (They can be - if someone arrives at their job to find badly written code in a poor choice of language with zero unit tests, that certain ain't gonna help.) I would think that interesting problems are more likely to hold staff than interesting tools to solve those problems.
