If the experience was good, why not?
- rememberlenny 12y agoAs a company, we dont normally do large scale hiring. When we do large scale hiring, we can bring on junior devs. If we are hiring for single spots, we need experienced developers.
- s0uthPaw88 12y agoBut if you were in the same large scale hiring situation again and can bring on junior devs, would you do it again?
- rememberlenny 12y agoIt was a once a decade hiring process.
- mcguire 12y ago"If we are hiring for single spots, we need experienced developers." That's why you don't see openings for entry level positions.
- nsxwolf 12y agoYou chopped the context out of the quote. I thought the original was sufficiently explanatory.
- wch 12y agoThat's actually not true. He/she quoted the original two sentences. The parent post was later edited to add a third (middle) sentence.
- nsxwolf 12y agoOh, pardon then. The original really does read strange.
- rememberlenny 12y agoSorry about that. Three people asked the same question, so I updated the post after.
- steveklabnik 12y agoSometimes, you just don't need that many new people. This is one of the things that happened with Hungry Academy and Living Social back in the day. A sudden influx of 24 new people doesn't mean you're immediately ready as an organization to pick up 24 more, even if they are good entry-level engineers.
