请问HN：雇佣学术研究人员并培养他们成为优秀的软件工程师？
嗨，HN！
我们正在面临以下挑战：世界上有一些人拥有我们所需的领域专业知识（例如，在一个特定主题的学术实验室工作了5年，涉及湿实验室、硬件和计算生物学的专业知识），但他们在软件工程（SWE）方面的能力通常较差。不幸的是，在某些情况下，所需的领域专业知识与优秀的软件工程技能的交集似乎为零。
我们现在考虑两个选项：
1. 雇佣这个人并培训他们成为优秀的软件工程师
2. 雇佣一位优秀的软件工程师，他们具备出色的动力和智力，以掌握领域专业知识
第一个选项似乎更可行，因为培训一个人所需的资源低于让第二个选项的人进入湿实验室，并让他们在里面搞砸半年的风险。
我想知道是否有人有类似的经验和建议/故事可以分享。
谢谢！

Hi HN!<p>we are struggling with the following: there's a few people in the world whose domain expertise we need (e.g. 5y in an academic lab working on a particular topic that requires wet-lab, hardware and computational bio expertise) but who mostly happen to be pretty bad at SWE. The intersection of domain expertise required and good SWE skills unfortunately seems to be 0 in some cases.<p>We're now considering two options:
1. hire the person and train them up to be a good SWE
2. hire a decent SWE with outstanding drive and intellect to pick up the domain expertise<p>1. seems more achievable because the resources required to train someone up are lower than sending 2. into a wet lab and have them fuck things up for half a year.<p>I wonder if anyone has experience with this situation and advice/stories to share.<p>Ty!
