> Fire fast. Use that 90 day try out period. Contract-to-hire.

I've see that work before, but it was some time ago. The company also had a very large test department with separate management and kept to a strongly enforced waterfall-esque design routine.

Of course, it used to be a lot harder to ship out version 1.01 of the software.

I just assume it was a different world as this was in the days of US manufacturing, very limited set of software tools, high importance placed on domain knowledge as opposed to toolset, longer average stays at employer, lower wages for programmers. Probably not applicable to modern times.
