Ask HN: Do You Hate Your Telephone Access System?

[maxcameron]

Hi,

My startup has an office in a fairly old building in Toronto. The building uses one of those antiquated telephone access systems where they give you a code to get in, and a code for guests to use after hours that calls one of our phones.

I'm wondering if any of you are forced to use a similar system, and if you find it as painful as I do.

Is it painful when you host parties/events/meetups?

Do you find yourself sharing your unique access code with others? (ie friends, realtors, random guests, etc)

Do you even care? Or is it just not a significant pain.

Thanks in advance.
