In this episode, Dave and Jamison answer these questions:

  1. How do I help foster team spirit in a newly created team?

    I work for small startup (fewer than 10 people). My boss wants to hire another developer and asked me to look around for people.

    \\n\\n

    I don\\u2019t feel particularly strongly about this team. I\\u2019ve been there for about a year, but I don\\u2019t imagine myself working there for another twelve months.

    \\n\\n

    I don\\u2019t want to refer my friends because I don\\u2019t want them to join a team I don\\u2019t feel good about.

    \\n\\n

    On the other hand, I want to work with great people. I see how other devs may enjoy working in such an environment, but it\\u2019s just not for me.

    \\n\\n

    In the long run, I obviously want to leave this job, but what would you recommend doing in short term? Is hiring under such circumstances really that different than hiring if I liked this team?
