It seems like there are two basic types of people interested in “entrepreneurship” that are very interesting: First, there are your average blue collar worker and millennial teenager who sees that the current climate idolizes hero entrepreneurs.

Second, there are intelligent engineering types who see that entrepreneurs profit from their innovations and can obtain power for possibly the first time in their life. These two sets of people seem equally driven to perform although in different directions.

They also begin in different environments and so face unique challenges. Your average millennial simply does not have the skills to create an innovation or even to work as a technician within a startup. Therefore, they rely on enthusiasm and glorify hard work.

Your average engineer is not well suited to sales, they find it difficult to deal with the complexities of people, and they believe that “if you build it they will come”. Therefore, they rely on the science, deny the necessity of interpretation, and glorify innovation.

It seems to me both parties have their issues, but their responses do not necessarily apply to the other. Innovation and hard work means something different to engineers than to regular people. Just like it would to a concrete worker than his salesman.

Salesman often come up with bullshit innovations little more than random changes, or so it seems to the engineers, and vice versa. Engineers often seem “lazy”, waiting until 11 am to come into work and coding for 4-5 hours before moving on and they know this is efficient.

This leads to a lot of miscommunication, as clearly the salesman are bullshitting busybodies and engineers are slow and pedantic. At the end of the day, you can’t sell something if you can’t build it and it’s wasteful to build something that no one will buy. Respect.
