I agree with the general thrust of this article - the company grows and its needs change over time. You will need to change along with them. But I think the last 1/3 of the article is a little too self-congratulatory. It's not really clear the retaining early employees is important, and in fact they may become more dead weight as the company grows. The concept of maintaining "company culture" is silly, that changes as the company grows anyway. The company owes nothing to early employees and some churn is likely.
