Overall great advice, however if it only works under the following conditions then it's not really usable advice:
>New hires need to join a stable squad, where senior team members can take time to onboard and support them
>Limit the number of junior employees to a certain % of your workforce: sounds harsh, but in a remote team, especially a startup, resources are limited. Don't stretch managers too thin.
These points makes this advice not-actionable because by and large, these two items are usually out of the control of their managers.
Yes, ideally a team would be well formed and competent prior to even posting a job requirement, but we know that's just not the way the world works.
"Don't hire unless you have everything in order" is great in theory but I've seen only a handful of teams in my near 20 years of experience that can claim to be in such a state.
