"... but it does seem contrary to the startup mentality. ..."

Joel is a pretty smart businessman and a lot of the articles are written within the management of an established software company frame of mind. Remember that:

- FogCreek is not a startup

- FogBugz has a long ship cycle

- products developed are mature

- code base is being used over a long time frame

- good software takes 10 years anyway ~ http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000017.html

Quite the antithesis of what you might associate with Startups discussed here.
