All cash-strapped operators who take their hiring seriously eventually end up designing a system with the same four principles.

Thanks for sharing, is there any other non tech founder here by the way ?
Love this. As a non-technical leader, and working around others that aren't technical, hiring developers is daunting. Thanks for sharing!
TLDR ...The four principles are:
You have a differentiated set of hiring criteria, and you are able to evaluate it during the hiring process.
You have some method for onboarding the talent you find in this way.
Because of 1 and 2, you are able to focus your hiring efforts on specific pools of talent.
You are willing and able to iterate on 1 through 3 above.
What I love about this is that soo many founders face the same challenges and outlooks. We feel that because we can't pay what Google does, we must sell candidates on a grand, universe-changing vision. That's not always the case. In fact, it can backfire.
