Some key takeaways:
1. Create hiring requirements
Don't lower the bar in hiring, look for people as good or better than your existing employees. Create explicit requirements for each position so applicants are measured to the same standard whoever conducts their interviews.

2. Hire engineering managers with deep technical knowledge
This is essential for tech companies in hypergrowth. You need managers to mentor and support your junior employees and new hires. You can’t rely only on senior engineers for this, they’re busy coding and interviewing.

3. Scale decision making
As your organization grows you stop being able to make all the decisions yourself. Rely on your team and managers to help you shape the environment. The leader’s job isn’t micromanagement, but empowering employees to make decisions and stick to them.

4. Planning in hypergrowth
It’s impossible to plan for everything in hypergrowth. You need to rely on high-level estimates when making decisions, and count on finding a lot of unforeseen complexity when implementing them. Take each step to make the next step forward more clear.
