Absolutely, productive people are very important. Especially in early-stage startups, where nearly every day feels like all-hands-on-deck.
However, productivity comes in multiple forms -- just depends on how you measure it. Because of the limited resources in early startups, people need to fire on all cylinders -- productivity and smarts.
I 100% agree with you :) I think the way I wrote the post may have stated the GSD side too strongly. I totally agree you need really sharp people who are a good culture fit who also GSD. Thanks for reading the post.
