This is fun stuff

. and that is sometimes enough.

This is my first time working in a startup and I can tell you: is fun stuff. I don’t mean that I’m playing around all day or there is no stress. The contrary, in a startup environment, sometimes the pressure is higher than in a establish company. However is fun to be able to contribute to “a cause” or common goal. Even if what you produce is small, as a grain of sand, still is not trivial and will always be welcome, specially when resources are scarce. 

Is fun because nobody sticks to their job title, everybody has other tasks (even if it means washing the dishes or buying food for everybody). Is fun because of the uncertainty: not know what the next day will bring us. Is fun because people have a chance to connect, share ideas and go into endless discussions that don’t go know where.

I guess a startup is fun when is built to be fun, where the right person and attitude is more important than the right CV, which leads to a environment where can connect with the others in the company. like pieces of a puzzle coming together by chance.

Sure it might sound romantic or or just me experiencing the honeymoon syndrome (when early on, everything is great), then again this fun: the whole experience.
