Agree 100% with this take. But my question is: how do you mesh all these types together and run an effective team/company? Or is that even possible?

- helij 4y agoBy having agreed core hours.
- davidweatherall 4y agoHire based on working style.
- kelseyfrog 4y agoThis is a really great way to introduce systemic neurodivergency filters and expose a greater surface area for unfair hiring practice lawsuits.
- rsanek 4y agoNot sure if I'm just missing the sarcasm but almost all companies have been hiring based on the same working style of 5 days a week, 8+ hours, in office, open workspace for quite a while. What's the problem with choosing a different set of strongly opinionated defaults?
- andai 4y agoNormal working conditions are a neurodivergence filter.
- dsr_ 4y agoIn a large enough group, all things are possible, and a good manager can make them happen. In a small group, start by asking what the company needs, and hire or move people to fit. It might not be possible to get a good fit for everyone. Honesty and flexibility is the best policy: one dev who misses every morning meeting has a problem, but if half the team misses it fairly regularly, or everyone is yawning, move the meeting. Ask people about their working styles up front, and be clear during the hiring process if you have core hours, or inflexible shifts, or need everyone to be in person on the first Wednesday of the month, or whatever.
