  Ninja/rockstar/let's pick yet another stupid name. Or we could actually try "skilled engineer."

  What did I just read? Are forbes tech/blog articles all automatically voted up or something? This is terrible.

    I feel like article actually hurts the startup's hiring prospects going forward. I find myself actively trying to forget those sentences I just consumed.

  Entire article in one meaningless quote: "Honey badger employees, though, “say ‘Screw it! I’ll figure out how to do this!’ They’ll find a way to get things done.” says Seidman". Don't waste your time. Truism crossed with BS. without anything /actionable/.

    Forbes quality is awful. I suspect it is auto generated using some huge n-gram corpus that generates random garbage.

      Honey Badger don't care. Honey Badger just gonna write an article. "Screw it," says the Honey Badger, "I don't need a point."

    No, seriously - if your employees are "fearless", and just jump in with no regard for the consequences, then you're going to lose. I've lost count of the number of times I've had to clean up after honey badger go-getter types, who should've thought for five minutes before jumping in.
