ha, when i saw the headline and read the first paragraph i assumed this was a sales pitch for something.. but after scrolling down to the bottom and not finding anything i shortly realized this is the author of kalzumeus.com which is the source of some of the best advice I (as a programmer) have read on the internets.
One gotcha here is that not every programmer can be as successful doing such business consulting. I think it is a different skill (muscle?) that must be developed in order to talk with suits and create the aura of instant value. I wish i knew how to train that muscle more :)
- kruipen 14y agoha, when I read it I still think it was a sales pitch ... not that there is anything wrong with that.

- StavrosK 14y agoThe sales pitch comes later. The good thing about it is that, if you're interested in these posts, you'll probably be interested in what's on sale.
- brc 14y ago1st lesson : stop using language like 'suits'. They are just people with budget to spend on problems they need fixed. The key here is that talking to people is a skill which can be learned. The way to learn is to start, and make some mistakes and learn quickly.
