When hiring your first 10-15 engineers, forget ‘10x engineers,’ focus on ‘engineers who give a sh*t’ - who care about building it right, think about the next 4 releases, learn to become domain experts, eager to hear user feedback, care about the business and their part in supporting it, will burn the midnight oil to get it done without being prompted, are excited to write the docs, push those around them to be better, want to be part of the interview circuit, keep linear/jira clean and up to date, start to dig into the competitors, add that extra polish because they can’t imagine doing it any other way.
Companies are representations of the people that build them.
When building a company, find team members who really ‘give a sh*t,’ it’s the only way.
