I tell people all the time that some of my best years were being broke and working 7am - 7pm on my failed startup. We had a preverbal basement in the form of a small business incubator, it was great. I miss those guys. I miss talking about their products, working through some rough decisions with everyone in the office. I haven't left the basement yet, mine is just a little more comfortable and only open when I'm not at work. I'm sure I'll miss this phase in a few years time. Good post
Yeah a great way to really know people is to work hard and much together, then you know how they handle stress and situations where the hope about getting something delivered on time / getting payed on time is small
