I missed the how to hire article so I'm glad you included it. (For anyone else who did, here's the HN discussion: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1445500 ) Are you going to also follow his advice and hire two or three different people

Facebook couldn't fix it because they just licensed the old Java/ActiveX uploader from a company named Aurigma. Even though Aurigma would give you the source if you paid them enough, you didn't get any ownership over it. When Facebook first

Kohn says that compensation is perfectly fine, as long as it's not used as a cudgel to mold behavior. You should get high quality employees because they want to be successful and good at what they do, not because you pay them to be. One way

We have 4 developers sitting in a room with a giant white board. When someone discovers a bug, or one is reported to us, we write a few words or a sentence up on the board; enough so that we'll be reminded what its about. When a developer d
