I suggest you hire a software developer, preferably a senior one if you can afford it. The difference between a bunch of impressive algorithms written by specialists in the field stitched together by brittle connections, and a bunch of impressive algorithms that are part of a well structured, tested and maintainable suite is huge. Reading a book or two is not going to solve the problem in the long term, which I assume is what you want.

Hiring a software developer who can take a lead role in organizing and structuring the codebase will also make the specialists better programmers, since they learn good programming techniques from someone who actually knows them.

Source: Senior software developer, where I initially started as a "algorithm/application developer" and saw the team grow and benefit by hiring some experienced developers.

WTF are we just posting random shit from wikpedia now on HN?

This is a really stupid article, painfully trying to find a connection between 2 activities in an attempt to sound insightful. Just climb, and don't try to pretend you are a monk finding divine insight in unlikely places.

And also, if you're writing design documents for trivial features, I'm glad I don't work at your company.

I don't think you understood what he said. He was saying that one of the attractions of a startup, which couldn't pay the $350k salary like Google, was that remote work would be possible, and some developers would like that flexibility. He wasn't claiming that startups pay remote workers less than in house ones.

In my experience that is an incorrect argument to begin with: many large tech companies seem to have more flexible work hours and remote working capabilities just like startups. I would rather focus on work-life balance, working on products that matter, having equity in the company, being able to experiment with technologies and be part of the decision making process rather than a cog in the machinery as reasons to prefer a start-up.

This post is about the IP right to that work, not whether your company allows you to work on personal projects.
