Responding to customer sales inquiries. I'm a hacker, not a salesperson, but working for startup means I have to switch hats and give a pitch 30% of my week. Why is it a waste? Because I suck at it. My company doesn't have real salespeople so we all pick up the slack. I realize it translates into putting food on my table, but I'm so bad at it that I consider it a waste.
