Hiring Great Hackers

August 27th, 2004 by koblas

* Identify a hard problem, the solution of which would fill some market niche, and that your great hacker is sufficiently interested in finding a solution to
* Make sure your great hacker is kept away from shiny things until the problem is solved
* Pray that the hacker can, in fact, produce an effective solution (if this was a certainty, you wouldn’t have needed the hacker in the first place)
* Market that solution effectively.
