Founder is has a CS bachelors and worked in industry for a while and justifies hiring (so far) only non-CS people with STEM background by suggesting the non-CS hires won’t have bad habits and allows him to bring in only people he can “trust” Thoughts? Opinions? Is this unusual but not unheard of? It sounds weird to me, but heck I’m just a knuckle dragging ME with passable MatLab skills :-P
Almost All startups I've seen that hired people out of bootcamps suck balls
None of us came out of a bootcamp
I’d consider this a bad understanding of what a non-CS hire actually *knows*. Bail dude. Bail fast.
Uh, I think what's going on is he's unable to hire CS majors. They're expensive and you're a startup.
Run away, unless there are no actual interesting CS problems and he can just use low performers to get the job done. Sounds like he just doesn’t want to pay for people that know what the fuck they are doing.
Bail bail bail
Lol!! That's the most stupid thing that have been said in the history of humanity
B team players hire c team players
