> 3. Hire the best engineers you can.

What is the definition of "best engineers"? Those with extensive experience? those who follow design patterns and coding standards religiously? those who solve algorithms on a whiteboard? I would like to see if there is a definition for this.

I would say build the right culture (collaborative, always learning from mistakes and revise decisions and no blame or pointing fingers).

You can get a bunch of great coders/engineers _who follow code standards, break down codes to zillions of functions/methods ... etc_ but will fail to work together and conflicts will raise quickly.
