I like the idea of Jim and Dennis working for us. Jim is a no-brainer,
imho, and although we haven't worked with Dennis too much, it seems
fairly obvious that he's comfortable in Linux and the kernel. While
peculiar, he's not at all unenjoyable and his knowledge could be a
big help.
As for the other two spots, I'm not sure. It seems to me that we need
to figure out where our own strengths lie - come up with some kinda
from-the-hip work allotment.. With the exception of our md++ layer, we
understand roughly what has to happen - maybe we should start figuring
out who can do what, and in how long. Once we have some idea on that,
we will be better able to figure out something like, "Hey, we need a
person that can interface with backup packages."
Personally, I think we have all the programming power we need (for the
time being, of course) in us happy few and Jim and Dennis. IMO, we
don't need to hire a testing or integration team (even 1 person) until
later.. The brunt of the next few months is going to be designing with
programming in mind - tester/integrator won't likely be much help there.
And with the amount of resumes in hand and the likelihood of the job
market staying kinda crappy, I bet we can hire people on a need-to-use
basis. That is, we needn't look too far into the future.
I tend to think similar things about any database people, too. If there
comes a time when we need database work done (I can't imagine it'd be
too serious), I'd rathar we teach a programmer how to use databases
rather than finding ourselves wanting a database person to program.
In short, uh, less is more.
