On one hand, he bitches about not wanting to make startup founders rich by working shitty hours in an unstable work environment. I get that, I really do. However, he hasn't indicated he wants to BE said founder (nothing wrong with that).
So go work for Google or Facebook. There's a lot of early employees there who are benefitting in ways that are only possible from being an early employee at a successful startup. Granted, these are rare, and you shouldn't count on them.
I do agree that a lot of startups can have shitty working environments compared to BigCo, but it sometimes it just comes with the territory. That's part of being a startup, always more work than people to do it. That's like getting a job in a coal mine and complaining that your hands are always dirty.
