Comment on Keeping and Recruiting Hackers as a Non-Hacker

Comments

If I see that you are less intelligent than me, and do less work than me, but you make more money than me, then well what do you expect?

I think fundamentally it is a matter of respect. If you respect the hacker, the hacker will respect you.

I think the easiest thing to do is to demonstrate that you have valuable non-hacker skills that contribute just as much to the project as the hacker does.

It is also a matter of trust. If you trust your hackers, they will trust you. A big problem for you, however, is that it will be much harder for you to figure out which hackers are trustworthy without hacker skills.
