"There's a misconception that anyone can hire. Tech companies are outsourcing their IT to heroku and AWS because programmers can't sys-admin. They hire lawyers

"There's a misconception that anyone can hire. Tech companies are outsourcing their IT to heroku and AWS because programmers can't sys-admin. They hire lawyers and accountants to take care of legal and financial matter. But hiring? "I can do that" they think."
In their semi-defense, they probably can do it at least as well as the vast majority of supposedly specialized technical recruitment firms, who are also largely a joke (yes, there are a few exceptions that prove the rule).
- latch 15y agoGood point. I didn't mean for the alternative to be using recruiters, but rather simply recognizing that you probably aren't good at hiring, and thus should continuously be looking at improving your process.
