This list really started on a weird note. First of all, are there any small startups (in the tech sector) that immediately hire a big I.T. department? And whhich I.T. department is just doing virus cleanups and software installs, and thus would be (allegedly) out of work once Macs are everywhere.<p>But never mind the fanboy start, it's items like 3, 10, 11, 12 that bother me. Don't let your developers out of the room, ride them hard for the maximum amount of time possible. This is basically the startup versions of the "9 women bearing baby in 1 month" myth. A developer who works twice as long isn't twice as productive. If you manage burnt out people, you'll sell ashes.
