Read this before you hire another developer

Jacob Orshalick

We’re on a deadline! We need another developer!

Wait…

Before you start sending out the job reqs, hear me out.

Is your team really as productive as they could be?

  • Is the code structured in a way that’s simple to understand?
  • Does your tech stack include unnecessary tech?
  • Is the architecture as simple as it could be? 
  • Are your releases simple and automated?
  • Are your requirements clearly defined?
  • Are your requirements prioritized?

How much developer time are is being wasted?

Another developer means another line of communication.

You may even slow the team down further!

Invest the time to take a good look at ways you can improve the efficiency of your team first.

If you’ve maximized their productivity, congrats! Go ahead. Send out the job req.

At least you know the new hire will be as productive as they can possibly be.
