Thrilled to share some snippets from @Lux_Capital’s @cognition event sharing @ScottWu46’s wisdom on building Devin!
More than half of Cognition's first 50 employees were former founders.
@ScottWu46 sat down with @breeves08 and @lux_capital to talk about correctness over comfort, staying focused on our mission, and what it takes to build an incredible team.
Positive users praised Cognition for hiring former founders in its first 50 employees because it brings valuable lessons and explains Devin's success, while negative users mocked them as failed founders or accused misconduct.
Thank you to @lux_capital for hosting. Full video:

@cognition @ScottWu46 @breeves08 @Lux_Capital that's actually a pretty common pattern in many successful startups founders know how to hire because they've done it before themselves. doesn't mean it's easy, but familiarity helps when scaling up
@cognition @ScottWu46 @breeves08 @Lux_Capital Hiring former founders who chose correctness over comfort explains a lot about how Devin turned out
