not really news, but it is just to much fun to care about that. StartUps are a tough roller coaster of ups and downs so you have to find little ways to enjoy your ups when you have them. I know a couple of the teams in this video and it looks like a good time.
Let's hope they code better than they dance...
I'm sure their lack of these skills have roots witin why they are technical people - I actually enjoyed the goofy dancing
Perhaps, but I still found that video painful to watch. :)

Startups are stressed. But, they are enjoying them!

stress != unhappiness

Oh interesting, I live a block away from Attributor. I always walked by and had no idea what that was.
do people still dig on this infantilizing thing? i'd have more respect for the startups if they told their VC "fuck you, i'm old enough to vote, procreate, and carry a loaded gun. i know when to work and when to not work. just because you gave me some money, you didn't buy the right to make me do stupid pet tricks for your little video"

i know it all seems innocuous, but i see this all the time...people with money finding ostensibly humorous ways to strip the dignity off of people they are paying. its a power thing and its not amusing.

I would have told them [the VCs] to go take a long dance off a short pier.
This is great. Stop groaning and start living! Yes, startups are stressful, a roller coaster ride, tough sail all of it. That makes it all the more reason to dance or do anything fun and carefree.

Just watching it made the mind so light. I am sure all those startups if they did dance in good spirit they would have had a great happy feeling too which is good. I would want to dance with them in 2009 ;)
