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