Interesting choice of header image. I kept wondering when the author was going to talk about Soundcloud, but it never happened—turns out it's just a random photo of a startup office. (Looks like Soundcloud's old Berlin office? Not sure.)
Are offices of other startups equally "well-spaced"? Seriously, you can't cramp more people on less space or it begins to look like a Chinese sweatshop. I tried to google other startup's offices but I found only pictures of shiny conference rooms. Are they usually similar to this?
When I worked at Bigcommerce that's about the size and space we had too, so subconsciously Mitch has probably just picked a stock image that meshes with his idea of what works.
