“Things that you think only you are capable of, you're not the only person capable of that. Give them a macro-assed project, then watch them sink their teeth in–and keep your expectations reasonable. They're not gonna knock it out of the park the very first time on the very first project. That's why you give them a handful, and you start to see what they're really good at." ~ Kasim Aslam
