This article appears to have very little substance. The author and his co-founder hired an engineer. They don't explain how they found this engineer. They don't explain how they evaluated their hire. They don't explain anything about their overall philosophy on how an engineering team should function. It's just that the founder and co-founder couldn't do all the work they needed to do in order to execute on their plan, so they hired someone to help with the burden. I don't understand why this deserves a blog post, much less a blog post that reaches the front page of Hacker News.
