Each to their own, I guess I'm a hacker who's not keen on doing sales. Enterprise sales seems to be an ugly dance of feature comparisons and bs, which I hate.

- brk 19y agoI think yours is a common feeling among true hackers. Sales is less of a "binary" thing, there are too many other grey areas that get in the way of making it a process that can be solved with pure "math". You could say that I am more of a social-engineering hacker than a software hacker. Although, I know more than a fair bit of perl, C++, SQL, linux, etc. I've written my own apps and various bits of glue logic as part of getting a sale done, because I could, and because it was the most efficient use of resources. But sales-hacking is (IMO) sort of a language or process unto itself. It can be fun and challenging and rewarding (when it's not utterly aggravating :) )
