Both Sides of the Table
APRIL 20, 2010
This time I thought I’d try and address engineering talent. Often I’m asked by startup CEO’s about how to best build an engineering team. Because more technology people probably read startup blogs I’m guessing this post will come under more scrutiny. I’ve heard both arguments from CTO’s.
