Startup CEOs: you are overestimating your tech talent
OTOH, most startups don't really need a great tech team.Exactly what highly technical problem is Evernote, Airbnb, Snapchat, or Twitter, or Facebook solving?I mean really deep technical problem like the news feed absolutely will not work with out some sort of huge breakthrough in AI, not that deep learning is 5% better than an SVM. Look at how well something simple like the points*timedecay system than HN uses for ranking works.Fuck, even Google was a 20 year old algorithm.We're building CRUD apps on what 20 years ago were $75 million dollar computers, not putting men on the moon with pocket calculators.
