People say you should hire the smartest people you know

One observation of small teams with smart people: It's easy to get sucked into lengthy analysis/strategy sessions, which can lead the team down false paths and inaction on product.




I remember a quote from Tom Preston-Werner that went something like this: 'there are plenty of brilliant people that I would never hire'.

I think the author is basically saying the same thing.
