Whilst I high level agree, I also high level disagree. Even during hyper growth you should be aware of your costs, because you should have an idea of your margin. I'm not sure any engineer that has awareness of costs, CPU, memory, stor

I didn't post this time. But I've hired lots and I'm ahead on my hiring plans. A lack of posts can't be interpreted as a lack of hiring.
