I'm doing well.
How are you?
show?
That is a nice round number.
Is that an accolade
As I was thinking about this question, I pulled up my most recent job description when I was hiring my latest full stack dev, who replaced my first developer for SavvyCal.
So
Yeah, totally.
So kind of running running through the list of things that I was listing in this, because I can sort of use the job description as my spec for the things I'm gonna be evaluating against.
So I guess the first piece is like experience, obviously.
Like if you're hiring somebody to kind of be in this in this like technical founder handing off control of the code base or part of the control of the code base to somebody, you want them
to have a decent amount of experience, obviously budget permitting, you know, if you're
If you're super early stage, maybe you can't afford that.
With Drip, we ended up training developers because we were budget constrained.
So I was looking for someone with a minimum of five years experience as a software developer, just sort of as uh it's an arbitrary number, but you know, senior level.
And someone with a full stack skill set.
So this was like really trying to hone in on someone who is a generalist who's comfortable conceptualizing a feature from front end to back end, and not somebody who's a specialist.
I think about like when we were later stage at Drip, we started hiring, you know.
back end engineers and JavaScript developers and these people who are like hyper specific on their skill set and could really own, you know, part of the stack, but that's gonna work against you if you're trying to like offload any and all development tasks to to a number two.
I put Thrive working autonomously because I think that's interesting.
