There was a period of time when web startups were trendy. At the time, I made a point to obtain operational knowledge of their fundamental engineering concerns, in order to maximise my financial leverage in the economy.
However, I made the mistake of being too friendly with business counterparties in my network. Business owners would be friendly when able to obtain STEM services at a discount to the market rate. However, I would not set a rate that was too high, and so I would find that the friendliness of many people decreased over time.
Small mistake - albeit a common one. Assuming intimacy with people who are not fundamentally interested in being friends, for its own sake.
