Reflecting on the first 5 years of @tallpoppyhq (!!) – the first of many little notes like this, I expect.
There are 5 jobs to be done in the very earliest days of a npub1k6pvhvskqzcwj3v4y06z7y0v2tl9kq7pyh069wdrq9503nmsan2qck0t9s (npub1k6p…0t9s):
🧑💻 Hacker (coder/implementer)
💰 Hustler (npub1rht53jtllf8g8q0s89a25rwjx35vu6ar7r8mwgugaepemmueda3q67sudx (npub1rht…sudx), npub152qedpasj04f4jf08psuhm3kxjr3yzkmh3k6rn2c3a5nwt0z9r3q4ycyw6 (npub152q…cyw6), partnerships and other funnel-driven work)
🧑🔬 Subject Matter Expert (someone who has an unfair advantage in the product area)
📊 npub10q769t78ylkjqhknhv95yr9pjv592nhcwffr977udhpye7aeyrqs5f497q (npub10q7…497q) Person (someone who can translate customer needs and the SME's thoughts into stuff the hacker can implement)
🧑🔧 Ops (someone to keep the lights on; HR, finance, office, etc.)
These might all be the same person, they might be 5 people - but they all need to get done. The "hustler" work is a VERY different shape of work than a lot of techy folks are used to doing – it took me a long time to adapt my brain to the mindset of being the one pushing a deal forward. I'm still learning, really.
