> premature optimization is the root of all evil.

I heard this during University and remembered it for a life. 😄 While I think I'm good at applying this at the coding level, sometimes I still struggle with what principles are OK for now in a forming team and what won't scale beyond 5 people. I guess hiring not so fast helps with adjusting.

Thanks for the shout-out!

Well-deserved shout-out, Akos.

It's a powerful quote.

I guess hiring not so fast will help you scale when needed :)

I’m glad you quoted Knuth properly:

“[…] Yet we should not pass up our opportunities in that critical 3%.“

As you said very well the full quote shared great wisdom.
