When you are considering hiring you don't want to hire the already famous Jeff Dean, you want to hire the 25-year-old that will become Jeff Dean. This person is not in the limelight, and not everyone knows their name. I mean, you want to hire Jeff Dean too, but you'd be happy to find all the 85% as smart as Jeff Dean people out there who will never be famous based solely on their work and without self-promotion.
- dkhenry 14y agoI would but that 25 year old is not a "Master" as this article represents. I know the context of the discussion on this thread has shifted form the content of the article, and in the context of trying to hire talent yes there are a lot of talented people who are in the shadows, but my argument is they are not the true masters and innovators of our craft.
