Discussion on: Never work as a software engineer in a Startup!

I definitely agree with you in terms of how one must conduct themselves in a startup. The role(s) you outline are pretty much spot on IMHO. I think though, that 'titles' have less to do with the work one performs for a company than said roles. Frankly, it's a startup: you will likely be a janitor from time to time too even if your title is software engineer/ceo/product manager, etc.

Agreed, titles diminish very early on in a startup lol, you're going to be doing everything. This applies even when you work at a startup, and not necessarily run it. My team are incredible in that they always chime in on product feedback, give thoughts on what would be a great approach and what wouldn't be and that makes a world of a difference
