I appreciate this reply a bit more, though it's worth noting that this approach doesn't really scale all that well.
As you add customers, you'll eventually be stretched thin as you try to cater to different needs (assuming that's your goal—it might not be!). Assuming you eventually bring on other technical folks, I'd argue that you'd want to prevent this same language and mentality from persisting as a part of company culture.
But again, your goal might only be to reach a certain size and live comfortably. If so, then you're probably fine. I suppose my qualm was more with the image conveyed by your language more than anything else.

I'm sure we'd be doing all sorts of that if we were in the Bay Area, but we're not.
