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.

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.
