> Being overworked is not a good reason to hire. Instead, hire to be ready to catch opportunities, not to survive the current battles.
I disagree - if you have overworked people, that is usually a red flag that you need more personnel and planning failed. It doesn’t necessarily mean you should be hiring right at the moment, but it is a significant alarm bell that you should seriously consider starting to hire or you’re going to chase away engineers.
