Zaxo, what do you mean by 'founders'? Are you talking about people who've been in the business of hiring competent staff for quite some time? Or are you refering to technology savvy folks?

Well, I guess that's essentially what the author of this thread was alluding to. Unless you've got technology minded professionals working for your company, it is at times a great challenge to pick out the best of the breed from the multitude of incompetent flock. In my professional work environment I had come across people who know nothing but a bunch of buzz-words. Worst of all are people who have the nerve to boast about their inherent intelligence, but when it comes to completing real projects etc, they generally fail or show dismal results.
