On the internet it is still all about going as fast as you can. Think of something, set a site up the same day, start a blog about it the same week. Start marketing immediately. Get the software done, at least a first version ASAP and prelaunch or launch an alpha version.
The problem is ofcourse that you really cannot rush programmers into doing that kind of thing. Some programmers can do it, but most will require more and more (and more and more…) time getting it done and then it is usually not as you want it.
Is this feeling of ; why can’t he just get it done? And is the accompanying feeling of powerlessness familiar to you? It is to me…
Yesterday I decided to write something about running or working in different kinds of technical jobs. Using my experiences (good & bad), I tried to give a view on the kind of jobs and skills required to fit in the kind of companies I ran and run. Hopefully it is interesting for people when finding a business to run or job to fill.
This is the second part of ‘my story’.
As you can read here, I have been trying many different businesses. Did I like them all? No, not really. So how can you pick a business you are going to like without trying that all like I did. I’ll try to sketch my experiences, so maybe you can decide faster and more accurate on what you are going to like.
