In general I agree with this post, but I am reluctant to say so because we are both in a position that gives us incentives for wishing that the cats would just stop stalking and listen to the established cat-herd. I don't agree about the Dunbar issue.
Few start-ups need 50 people but very few of the people in our set have the cooperative ability to work well in a start-up. Very few people outside our set have that ability either.

I tried searching the post for both "Dunbar" and "150" and couldn't find either - could you clarify which bit of this post you're addressing with that? Thanks.

I thought that might be the Dunbar in question (thus my reference to "150") but I still don't know what the point of disagreement is.
