Engineers love the certainty of automated tests or data types. In an agile climate, engineers iterate on prototypes with technical spikes, and incorporate user feedback continuously into our products. If we are lucky, the engineering team can work to reduce technical debt. All these principles share the wish to continually improve our work process. How many of these ideas do we apply to the hiring process for engineering teams?
