How Do You Hire?
I'm a new founder. Like really new. Dunno if you could call me a founder. anyway, I was thinking of hiring a couple interns. But how do you actually do it? Good thing is that I'm a senior at my uni, so its pretty easy to broadcast it to fellow students. But its pretty hard to actually evaluate whether they can infact build. It makes the job a whole lot worse when you(me) aren't a very good programmer. Sure, I can code. Built a few projects in the my first couple years. But all of my recent projects were sorta vibe coded. I understand what I'm building but that's obviously not the metric. Simply put, I need to hire someone far more skilled than myself. I am confident that I can convey the task without any ambiguity, and can clarify whatever might come up. Past experience, leetcode ratings, even side projects are proxies in some sense to whether they can understand and finish the task. The fact that I never actually took an engineering interview makes it worse, I don't know how its done.
TL;DR: How to interview for an engineering role when you need them to be more competent than you.
