There are some good questions here.

Still, if you're non technical when interviewing, how would you know the right answers to technical questions?

Eliciting underlying thoughts about problem solving is important, but is more than just saying the right keywords.

If interviewing is not much more than a game of keyword DDR, it makes successful outcomes even more challenging.

Maybe hiring is broken because it is designed for linear working paths, but engineering is not linear.

My reaction to the article was similar. My answer to the title question would be: "Find a technical cofounder you can trust."

Absolutely. Don’t take advice from someone who doesn’t have relevant experience.

I find a much better success rate in not hiring he traditional HR ways. Tech folks are not linear workers with floors and ceilings, they are growing much faster and on multiple layers at the same time.

It’s humorous when non technical ppl try to manage things they don’t understand.

That table seems to be currently being turning in society because of covid, if you ask me.

Technologists will have to move into each area of management, because maybe it’s technologists turn to learn and manage business after such a long time of business trying to manage tech.

The biggest tech companies you know are founded and run by techies.

Yup. Lots of non tech companies (pretty much most) which are still doing tech hiring
