The reason this is important, to me as a business owner who is looking to hire our first few developers, is I have to learn how to deal with these situations. You may call it drama, but I consider it a lesson in how I should behave when forced to deal with these sorts of difficult decisions.

Is there a right or wrong answer? Probably not. To borrow the title of an absurdly sexual book referenced a thousand times in this argument, it's fifty shades of gray.

I'd like to at least see what the community thinks on these topics, so I can make better informed decisions later on. Not to mention understanding even how to communicate those decisions to the public.
