Hustle 101: How to Make Any Startup Want to Hire You
- pekk 14y agoApparently (per the article) startups only employ people for customer development, copywriting, analytics and growth hacking. I wonder what happens when they decide to build a product or a piece of software. Or is it too old-school to actually build something now?
- shanelja 14y agoI had this exact same feeling while reading it, perhaps they expect the founders to do all of the actual work?
- pavel_lishin 14y agoI think the point was that these are positions that are easier to "hustle" your way into with a minimal investment. ("Read the books above for 30 minutes a day, and you'll be an expert in 90 days!") Compare this to becoming an expert in C - 30 minutes a day for 90 days is not going to give you enough experience to waltz into a startup and demand a job. (Also, in my mind, the word "hustle" occupies the same bucket as "scam", and "30 minutes a day for 90 days" sounds like a late-night informercial for weight loss.)
- BrainScraps 14y agoMaybe they can prevent some wasted time by appending " for non-hackers"
- BerislavLopac 14y agoWell, if the article focused on developers, it would be really short: "Know your shit."
- 31reasons 14y agoWell they can just start with a random code and A/B test the hell out of it until they find the right product :)
