Occasionally I win the lottery
That's nice! Do you include opportunity cost in the few 100 bucks?
of course not because it would be depressing
I have a friend in Kansas who has won the lottery numerous times, over 30k USD
obviously I don't live in Kansas
I was exaggerating when I said "depressed"... I mean I get depressed when the local liquor store runs out of Tequila
Only illegal aliens win the lottery in CA... God has a sick sense of irony
you need BD and sales folks?
we should talk...
I mostly don't have it because I do not yet like the risk/reward ratio of doing inverse headhunting [1] as long as the source talent pool is questionable.
The challenge is to keep the overhead low, because there is no point in selling efficiency gains if the overhead from your own process evens it out. So say we have an org that really just needs 2 ai-assisted coders. Instead of selling them consultancy, sell them a lasting solution: training, or recruiting 2 world class devs just fired by Jack for them that you spent a few days re-educating any bad habits out of. Add 20% on the overall cost, pay the bd/sales reps very respectable commission. Done & iterate.
I think it can be done, once I see less yolo development. If you need to spend a month re-training, the whole thing collapses. So let's talk when there's a bit more clarity on what's available on the labor market.
i.e. where we hunt inefficient businesses and convince the owner that shit can be overcome with a fraction of the budget it would have required a few months ago. Classic BD. ↩
I forgot to mention that I only work 4 hours or less per day, Tues Wed Thu

There is a Rigly block party on March 12
