For startups that have open source projects, I’m increasingly hearing that before posting positions they just ping top contributors to see if they can hire them Those contributors proved they know how to do the day-to-day work in ways better than an interview would prove. Plus they know what the product does, are motivated to help etc

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, born on this day in 1807, was the most revered poet of his day, but his reputation later collapsed. Why was he so beloved to begin with? nyer.cm/aZ47GOr
