Employee #1

Two days ago, I accepted an offer to join a start-up. After the founder/CEO, I'm employee #1 and CTO. I'm very excited.

This is a change for me. I'm used to being a founder, not an employee. I'm used to feeling (and having) ownership. I'm spoiled, and it's been difficult to accept that I'm not always entitled to everything.

But, you know, starting a good company is hard. Really great business ideas are harder to come across than the Yeti. I spent roughly a year trying to come up with ideas, and I batted .000.

So I feel lucky and thankful. I met The Founder just as he was looking for a tech person to join him. And unlike me, he's got a Great Idea. And I'm going to help knock it out of the park.
