Yea, I've worked at plenty of SV startups. I hear a lot about this "chance brilliance" phenomenon as the reason for stuffing people into the same open space. Usually it just means lots of noise and interruptions where you can't concentrate on anything you are doing. I can see this argument work when the team is like 4-5 people, but the moment you are at 15 and above, it all breaks.
