So does that mean being first recruit is not always good?

  If you're thinking "If I can get a job at XYZ start-up I must be a brilliant coder", so it's essentially a validation of your ego, it's probably not brilliant. If you look at it as a challenge where you'll be working on something new, where what you write makes a very visible difference to the product, in a fast moving environment, where you'll meet people who don't mind taking a risk (usually more interesting folk than the cautious ones who work in corporations) ... it's completely awesome.

    The first point about the validation of one's ego is totally valid. But my question was more of validating the startup when you are going to join as a first recruit.
