Actually the first principle of negotiation is to make the other person THINK you have a better option. :)
yes, but there is a lot of psychology involved. if you're in a needy position, it will be difficult to fake it. and experienced negotiators will catch your BS pretty qucikly.
You sound confused. This is the better option.
He's saying, you put yourself in a precarious financial position, and you're not going to have any negotiating leverage with anybody.
We're good. We just want to be "more good". Bootstrapping cash.
I actually think that you're not good if you think appeals to "pg" on an HN thread are in any respect a good idea. Even if you were "joking".
