    Bryan Cantrill and Adam Leventhal of Oxide Computer Company discuss their hiring process with Gergely Orosz, The Pragmatic Engineer. They explain how Oxide uses a written portfolio and RFD (Request for Discussion) documents to evaluate candidates, prioritizing integrity and clear communication over traditional coding interviews. The founders share how past bad hires at Joyent and Sun led them to design a system that forces transparency and self-reflection, ensuring that every candidate, including founders, undergoes the same rigorous review. They emphasize that this approach helps them avoid 'mishires' and build a team with shared values, even at the cost of being time-intensive.
