Harish Nair argues that hiring developers for AI work means prioritizing soft skills like curiosity, grit, and a growth mindset over technical credentials alone. Curiosity is the drive to take the first step; grit is persistence after failure. Teams that encourage experimentation and learning adapt to AI faster.

But then the soft skill side is where we are really leaning into curiosity, grit, like, you know, you don't give up because something didn't give you the right answer the first time. Let's iterate on this. So that's something we are really leaning into. So curiosity is something like people who are curious, I've seen, are taking the first step, and I like that growth mindset in the team. So when we go hire, those are the competencies we look for.
Yeah, I really like this, this, this background theme of like learning, being comfortable with experimenting and try like, like pushing sort of pushing the boundary here.
