    Another thing I want to disavow is this idea that you absolutely have to hire the best engineers. This is some Lake Wobegon Days shit.

        It's like how every driver thinks they're above average. Math says that no go. You don't need the best engineers. You need capable ones.

        Very few companies are truly at the cutting edge in 100% of their engineering efforts. The pace of tech redevelopment makes this impractical

        Old tech exists. Bad codebases exist. Bad codebases more likely to exist when the 10x developers moved fast and broke things!

        If your work is maintenance, bug fixing, feature additions, documentation, capable engineers outperform rockstars. Hire them!

        And then when you've hired them, allow them to rotate into rockstar roles. Don't stick them on code-cleanup duty and expect them to grow.

        And the weird obsession with "best" as if we're just ranked 0 to N. Insultingly simplifies the complexities of our trade.

        building a team isn't about the best people, its about the combinations and relationships between them.

        @noahsussman given that almost every single company claims that they hire most talented people - everyone is a genius

        the idea that success depends mostly on talent is one of the worst American myths IMO

        seriously tho I'll never ever forget the day I realized I'd never be as wealthy as my parents. I think I was 14.

        I was born in USSR. And then it got infected by “american dream” and as result we have some kind of nepotism :)

        sorry about that American Dream thing. If it helps no one in America buys it any more.

        yep, Lake Wobegon. ( And then HR insists everyone gets ranked on a bell curve annually, showing they don't believe it. )
