As I already commented on the blog post itself, I wonder whether I could continue that long doing something like DuckDuckGo without having someone on call other than me if things go bad. I know that you have to sacrifice a lot for your startup, but if at all possible, I'd try to find someone who's there to restart the server if I'm not available. Never mind that I don't know whether I would trust my limited security knowledge enough. Just catching 80% of the crackers isn't enough.
Granted, a freelancer doing a security audit might work out for that. But restarting servers, solving network and OS issues? Is there some kind of sysadmin "call center"? And would I trust them with my private data?
Other than that, the article speaks to my bootstrappy heart.
