What Charity Majors actually said

  1. Charity Majors Co-founder and CTO of Honeycomb
    you want to hire people for their unique strengths, not their lack of weaknesses. If they’re strong where you need them to be strong, it’s okay if they aren’t equally superpowered at everything — that’s why we build teams, to supplement and balance each other out.
