The best times were back in the early '90s when we were just five guys coding and playing music and smoking bongs and playing Quake after hours and maybe getting paid this month. By the dotcom implosion and 9/11, we had an award winning retail product, the first single-shopping cart online mall, 70+ employees, and we'd moved from the old house through several iterations of office spaces. But a bunch of yahoos from Montreal had bought us, and brought everything crashing down. The old days are calling.

Rings true. I wasn't around for a founding of a company and I wish I was. It gets significantly less fun as the company develops.
