I'm glad to see this spreading. A lot of people here are too young to know. Just a few years back, the zeitgeist in the CS/Engineering community was not about startups, which was a real shame. I bitched/ranted about schools not doing more to promote technical people to start companies. pg stated that over time it would invade from the ground up, which seems to be happening: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37850
