โ€œI hired him because he felt like the one. I let him go because I knew he wasnโ€™t.โ€ A friend I met over breakfast shared this story. He hired a young developer, full of charm and potential. Came from a great reference, felt like family, spoke well, always positive. But four months in, not a single line of code. Just meetings, excuses, and slowly, a shift in team energy. Others were contributing, he wasnโ€™t. Worse, he was bringing them down. Letting him go wasnโ€™t easy. But necessary. Because in early teams, one wrong fit can derail everything. Founders often ignore that gut feeling. They hold on too long. They confuse presence with contribution. My friend didnโ€™t. His lesson? You donโ€™t regret hiring people who fail, you regret keeping them once you know theyโ€™re wrong for the journey. If youโ€™re building, trust your intuition. Culture is built by doers, not passengers. Have you faced this? What did you do?
