You're probably here because your last design hire went one of two ways. Either you got buried under a pile of portfolios full of shiny dribbble shots and zero product thinking, or you wrote one vague “UI/UX Designer” post and accidentally invited everyone from visual designers to front-end tinkerers to people who once rearranged a...
You probably did the fun part already. You found a killer developer in LATAM. Great GitHub. Sharp communication. Works your time zone. Says they can start Monday.

Somebody wrote “I wouldn't do it this way.” Somebody else read that as “you're an idiot.” Then Slack got spicy, the standup got awkward, and now half the team is discussing architecture while the other half is...
