Totally agree with the rationale, just that sometimes some companies would hire that one expert and leave him/her alone with the unrealistic expectations of pulling over the effort of an entire department. And that person might even do it, but at what cost?

I believe that setting realistic expectations while growing organically and looking for long-term fruitful collaborations is key.

This article also makes me feel asking the question about how many engineers a hiring manager is going to hire is somewhat of a trick question now.

I will have to play with it in the future ;)
