Evidently you haven't read their landing page since it's definitely not a fancy CRUD app and as a developer of fancy CRUD apps, what they're doing does excite me (too bad I'm not looking for a job!).
And given that they're an early stage company (my company is as well), I have had employees who were working as a boring day job for the comp alone, vs those who do it out of genuine interest in the space, and it excites them. Both types of employees are useful to have, but the latter are far more indispensable to me. Given a choice between either type of candidate, the latter wins every time. The mindset has to be different between "big stable megacorp" and "scrappy startup".
- bradlys 4y agoBe honest. The reason you take the second candidate is because they’re easier to exploit. Jfc - I know a lot of founders personally and they’ll all say that in private. You’re online - on an anonymous forum. You’re not at risk for saying something that we all know. Stop lying.
- sershe 4y agoHmm, so let's say you are hiring a guy to build you a fence. One guy keeps talking about all the potential designs and tradeoffs and can show you what he did with each one before, and the other guy is like, whatever man, it's a fence, I'm licensed - you are only hiring the first guy because he's "easier to exploit"?
- hnfong 4y agoIf Person A wants to do X, and Person B wants somebody to do X for them, they agree on a fee, then I call it a win-win situation. Wannabe-capitalists call it "exploitation" and pretend they're badasses comparable to the truly horrible kinds of exploitations that happened 100+ years ago (or in some other parts of the world they never been to).
