Some teams optimize for cracked coders. Others want vibes. Girl, you know you need a blend of both if you wanna make it to the top 💅

2/ The Adaptability Hierarchy: Not all aspects of Web3 culture can be learned quickly. Technical protocols are easiest to teach, but philosophical alignment on decentralization is hardest. Smart teams know which traits to hire for vs. which to train. 📈

3/ Remote Culture Challenge: Web3's remote-first nature requires making culture explicit, not implicit. Regular offsites, clear documentation, and structured casual interaction are non-negotiable. Your culture doc should be as detailed as your technical specs. 🌐

4/ Diversity thru Unity: The strongest teams align on the WHY while embracing diverse perspectives (and not compromising talent). Building a talented collective, not an echo chamber, creates sustainable advantage through any market condition. Code can be forked, but culture can't. 🚀

1/ The 70/30 Rule: Different roles need different balances of technical vs. cultural fit. Tech roles need 70% technical excellence, strategic roles need 50/50, and vision roles need 70% cultural alignment. Ignoring this balance creates echo chambers or execution failures. ⚖️
