We’re in the midst of it (I came in as the 10th ish member of the group). Of course the hardest part is getting the official investment from the firm, but it’s still hard even after. Navigating firm politics, building a reputation (internally and externally), and making alliances with other services is really difficult, as is recruiting new talent if new skills are required that you don’t already have in-house.

I broke my foot a few weeks ago and sitting at my desk in a cast is incredibly uncomfortable still.

I’m usually pretty good about getting going, but I’m stalled out. Send me some tough love to get me going today.

Home office preference question. I am getting ready to redo the layout of my home office. One option I'm considering would have my desk facing a wall.

I would face the wall so that I would have a better background for video conferences (am on about half the day) and also my cord situation would be cleaner.
