I don't have a lot to add here other than liking the two sides of the coin thing the author mentioned.

With any choice there are pros and cons. Lots of people, not just the young people, tend to look at the pros and pretend the cons don't exist.

I really liked this article, it doesn't just apply to startups. Engineers are like the rockstars of today. Instead of the Sunset Strip, everyone is headed to the Bay Area for their own shot at glory.What's to be remembered is that nothing should be done except for the inherent love of what you're doing, and nothing should be done purely for the sake of "success". Be a decent person, have respect and courtesy for others, and you can enjoy life, whatever the vehicle of your creativity is.
