Hiring is the hardest thing about startups.

Everyone will tell you it's the hardest thing you'll ever do, and you'll believe them.

And you will *still* underestimate just how hard and time-consuming it really is.

[Paul Adams @Padday]

In every company, everything eventually changes. Those who fail to embrace this fact stay in the past, clinging to what they knew, forever stuck working in a company that no longer exists. Embrace change, be radically open minded, hard as that may be.
