Dunno about this one. This is very much so FAANG type of thinking, not really (newer) startup type of thinking. Sacrificing a few man-months to training is something that is hard to do when that's a significant percent of your remaining runway.
- paulgb 4y agoI agree, but it's also a matter of degree and availability of the skill you're looking for in the market. I wouldn't hire a developer who has only touched Java to do React when there's lots of React developers out there, but as a Rust shop I'm happy to talk to a Go developer who seems open to learning Rust on the job.
- noodle 4y agoSure, I've done that before many times, as well. It isn't my preference, generally speaking, for earlier-stage startups.
