>implies that somebody can produce quality results in 50 minutes…

This is more a random fluke as much as sampling bias. Akin to someone either getting lucky or someone who is coming from a very similar environment. This isn’t a measurement that guarantees someone is competent, rather it’s a guarantee that someone is coming from just as incompetent an environment as you have.



You know the company is on a good trajectory when the new hires are a little less incompetent than the past hires.
