&gt; &quot;Furrier Transform&quot;<p>Lol.<p>I can&#x27;t quite tell if you&#x27;re mocking InclinedPlane&#x27;s comment or the mentality it points out.<p>Sad though it is, there is a lot of cargo culting around startup office management in SF these days - and presumably elsewhere too.  I doubt people really think deep down that having the cliche startup office - tightly packed open plan desks, plenty of microbrews in the fridge, a few bottles of expensive whisky, a wall of snacks, a hoverboard or two - will make or break the success of their compamy. But no one wants to be the first to try not doing it and find out.
