Interesting. I wonder how many founders of companies would struggle to pass the interview process they have for incoming employees?
I know I would struggle to pass the coding tests etc. that I have for my own company these days (I never completed my CS degrees, but have been cutting code for over 3 decades now) and I struggle to come up with other aptitude questions that I deem to be fair and a good indicator of whether the applicant would make a good employee.
I know the general idea is to hire people smarter than yourself, but I wonder if that tends to feed the 'impostor syndrome' for most founders?
