Sorry, that's a bit of a wall of text. I think the most salient thing to the topic I can pick out, without creating a corresponding wall of my own, is this:

> there was a time when I didn't agree with a hire and was proven horrifically wrong very soon after

Based on what? Did they turn out to be unproductive, but in a good way? What was that way?

I mean, not much to say. They turned out to be productive, just fine. They had no problems grasping the codebase and what they didn't know they were able to learn. I had to admit to them that I didn't vouch for them during the interview process and was simply incorrect.
