Communication is key. If you want people to do things, you must communicate in ways that facilitate the action. Make it easier for me as I am bandwidth constrained.

I haven't been doing this long enough to have a sense for that, which is surprising. I am frequently cranky about things that don't work well.
- joshu 17y agoFunny story: When I see names in the press that look familiar, I often check to see if I've communicated with them. I saw an article about a company that raised money, and checked, and sure enough I had talked with them about it. The entrepreneur had written ten paragraphs. I sent a "sounds interesting, send screenshots or a prototype" and they wrote ten more paragraphs. I didn't follow up. However, smarter people than me invested, so what do I know?
