I'd Hire the full stack guys first, but spend a lot of time talking with them, the first hire is always the hardest but the most important. Its also hard not to hire people like yourself so take it slow, some of the best guys I have ever worked with are mid 30 with wife and kids that just know how to get stuff done.
- cjbprime 11y agoThe programmers-are-male assumptions in your comments are disturbing.
- rosspanda 11y agoSorry about that, I was using "guys" as a generic term, but it got me thinking that in 18 years of development, I have worked with over 200 Dev Guys and only 2 Dev Girls.
- gamechangr 11y agoThat's absurd. Most programers are male? You can actually make that assumption factually. How do you feel about the phrase "MIDWIFE's are in demand"? Is it appropriate or do you feel that people should have to say "Midwifes, both the females that practice midwifery and the males in in this profession, are in demand"? Can we just assume that the majority of midwifes are women and the majority of programmers are men without that being offensive?
- dragonwriter 11y ago> How do you feel about the phrase "MIDWIFE's are in demand"? Well, for me, bad, but mostly for reasons unrelated to the main issue in the discussion -- because it uses an apostrophe improperly for "look out, here comes an 's'", and because the plural of "midwife" is "midwives". ("midwifes", without the gratuitous apostrophe, is a word, but its the third person present of the verb "midwife", not the plural of the noun "midwife".)
