Excellent. Small amounts of self-righteous can be good. Too much and you become annoying and dangerous to people actually taking your advise. Applying your experience and trying to apply it across the board is just plain ignorance. All businesses vary in needs across different stages of growth. There is no use trying to derive formulas where formulas don't apply.

Interestingly enough, I think this "my way" approach that super hacker takes is the same type of attitude he likely resents in "business types". In doing so, he misses the one major thing that IS needed in startups -- flexibility.
