We Hire the Best, Just Like Everyone Else
I work in the &quot;boring&quot; old insurance industry, based in the midwest.  I love reading articles like these, and as I read them I get excited and say to myself &quot;yea!&quot; and &quot;spot on!&quot;.  But they seem to center around startups and Silicon Valley.<p>The truth is, when it comes to building, maintaining, and supporting internal, line of business apps, management isn&#x27;t even pretending to look for high end talent.  They want predictability, reliability, and someone who will &quot;fit&quot;.<p>I wonder how many people out there fit my profile.  That is, they get excited by reading blog posts like these from some of the thought leaders, and desperately want to apply the thinking to their own workplaces, but then feel like we aren&#x27;t really the target audience.
