I agree with this and it’s how I felt when I read the parent.
A recent startup I was involved with hired a senior manager from the “grown up” end of town and he is in the process of comprehensively destroying the business because the rules and processes are more important to him than shipping product. He literally has no idea what he is doing, and it’s entirely because he doesn’t have the skill set necessary to bootstrap a company.
There is a stark difference between the mindset and skills required to start from zero versus those required to defend billions in revenue, and it has nothing to do with being “grown up”.
“Tell me you never bootstrapped a startup, without telling me”.
