Now the industry is blurred with Vibe coding, AI-first coding. But future visionary companies are built by tough mentally wired skilled humans not AI vibes.

At the end of the day, we want a human to join our startup team.

In next 5 years, If we are making human hiring decision, what is the one trait we should definitely look for?

someone who has still the patience to learn, validate results etc

in other words.

critical thinking critical reading critical communication (clear and consice, accurate)

its not changed from old times. just more emphasized i suppose.

wether someones types their understanding into an llm or a code editor is maybe a moot point. (llm code quality will keep increasing likely so at best its a temporary issue that quality is kinda low)

"Understanding translated into code" has been the art and science of programming for decades.

"Understanding translated into code", this user flow is accelerated now.

But the blueprint remains the same.
