Engineers who sell seem new and novel. CS majors who code and promote seem like a new animal that #ENGR145 or\/and CS 183 and\/or Sam Altman&#8217;s CS 183b produced.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Whoa.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>I&#8217;m from a family of founders. My dad and his brothers. All co-founded or solo founded something. All studied engineering. So combining engineering and sales isn&#8217;t new. It&#8217;s fifth generation old. It&#8217;s like the &#8220;Fifth Epiphany&#8221; (more on that later)<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>What I&#8217;m saying is that sales skills plus CS skills inside of you plus four CS major co-founders that all code and all sell is not innovative.
