Honestly I think that might be in the back of these people's heads a bit.
"Woo! We're doing what we want, when we want, how we want, this is how work should be! What, you think it would be better if we did things this way because reasons and experience? No, this is how I always wanted to work, fast and loose, I'm the one with the CEO title so this is what we'll do!
6 months later I'm so sorry guys. I have to let you all go, then come up with another idea I can get investors to pump money into so I can hop on this ride all over again and learn absolutely nothing.
This isn't true of all startups, but I've seen elements of it at several of the ones I have experience with.
