However, their enthusiasm and sense of adventure have reminded me, once more, of grander purposes. Beyond the code and financial models, the business and the politics of the startup, there are insanis praedonum, latin for crazy pirates. And these insanis praedonum can’t be stopped. They roam the planet in search of the things their mother told them not to touch and teachers told them were foolish. Where books and movies require fiction to tell the tales of extreme adventurers, insanis praedonum need no such literary license. And though gold may be the excuse they share with others, it is the unconquerable human spirit that actually drives them, these insanis praedonum.
