The Caller ID Test (via brycedotvc)
I don’t think this applies to engineers. I always take a deep breath and let the phone ring for a moment. I am preparing for a heavy context switch from what I’m working on to what the conversation will need.
When you take venture money, you’ve got to assume you’re signing up to work with someone for a period of years. The relationship better work because more likely than not, you’re going to go through some rough times together. One quick test I think about is to ask the question, “if I see this person’s caller ID on my phone, am I excited to pick it up or do I let it ring twice, take a deep breath and then answer the phone?
