> Politics take the place of excellence
Our CEO has been very careful with hiring, and this aspect is one of the reasons. He's very aware we need people who all pull in the same direction to be successful.
A bad hire is much worse than no hire.
- jongjong 2y agoHiring is by far the most important thing IMO. You can have the best processes possible but it means nothing without good engineers. On the other hand, a company with really great engineers barely needs any processes.
- jjk166 2y ago> A bad hire is much worse than no hire. Within limits. Obviously toxic employees pulling in the opposite direction are a major issue, but mildly suboptimal hires are generally not a big deal. Conversely when a team is chronically overworked, the best people leave first and those who remain are stuck with even more work that they are less equipped to handle. This leads to a death spiral that kills or permanently maims a lot of companies.
