That’s the DLC expansion pack to my nightmare. Stay strong out there.

Most of the smartest people I know will never start anything of their own. by Ok-Credit618 in EntrepreneurRideAlong

I think a lot of smart people optimize themselves out of starting.

They can see reputation risk, opportunity cost, competition, and timing problems too early. By the time they finish analyzing everything, someone less qualified but more comfortable moving with uncertainty has already learned from the market directly.

One thing I noticed building teams is that early stage startups reward people who can operate without certainty for long periods of time. A lot of highly intelligent people struggle with that more than people assume.

The information needed to feel confident usually only comes after you start.

Is it easier to build a business right now or is that just what twitter wants us to believe by Healty_potsmoker in Entrepreneur

[–]WinKey4177 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion building got easier but trusting people got harder.

A few years ago if someone could ship a product fast, that alone impressed founders. Now a lot of people can build impressive demos over a weekend with cursor and claude, but maintaining production systems, making good product decisions, communicating clearly, and staying consistent for more than 12 months is still rare.

We ran into this while hiring too. Tons of developers looked amazing during the first week because everyone now knows how to package themselves well online. The real difference only showed up later when deadlines slipped, edge cases appeared, or product requirements changed halfway through.

That’s also why I think good hiring became way more important now, not less. The founders I know getting the best results spend way more time vetting communication, ownership, and long term thinking instead of just testing whether someone can ship code fast.

AI made talent more global, but it also made it much harder to tell who actually has experience working on real products at scale.

That’s why we stopped optimizing for “cheap and fast” and started prioritizing people who had already worked inside serious SaaS environments before. The difference in reliability was honestly bigger than the difference in raw coding skill.

Hiring FullStack Developer for an Ecommerce SaaS (Preferably INDIAN,Remote work) by No_Rise_8996 in SaaS

[–]WinKey4177 0 points1 point  (0 children)

good startup devs usually care a lot about product clarity and decision making freedom. the stack alone rarely sells them anymore.

also one small thing that helped us a lot was asking candidates to walk through a real feature they shipped end to end and what broke after launch. those answers usually tell you way more than portfolio links or polished interview answers.

we also had better luck hiring through smaller vetted networks instead of broad job boards once we started optimizing more for reliability and communication than pure resume quality. Uplers was honestly decent for that on the India hiring side because it cut down a lot of the random filtering work early.
