> I hired a guy at essentially minimum wage to write some very basic HTML pages. Within weeks he was writing code. Within a couple of years he was a much better dev than I'll ever be.
This sounds like a wild story, and I believe it. I love an underdog. Did you ever blog about this? It sounds interesting to read about.
No, never blogged about it. Don't want to put the guy on blast. We formed our own consultancy at one point and he ended up at a very senior position at a well-known SaaS, so good on him :)
