It's supply and demand. Where demand is scarce, the supply competes for it. Where supply is scarce, demand competes for it. Programmers are the supply; startups are the demand.
Put in real terms, if you've got a really great startup, developers will compete for you. If you're a really great programmer, startups will compete for you.
Of course, there are all sorts of information asymmetry and risk aversion problems, but those are beyond the scope of this post.
