The guy is seeing from one perspective but the reality is those who have needs of security probably shouldn't be at a startup. ie: kids, tuitions, and SOs. Pick one, but I don't think it's safe for a person to get all three and step on board the startup instability train.
Yes, you may find kindred spirits.
Yes, you may find yourself back in the job search doldrums--how long does it take before you go back to the banks (insert your locales stable tech-pool) to put food on the table.
Startups rock, but they not be feasibly rockable for everyone. ;D You do what you need to, and that can only be done by the do-er.

What's really important is just to have enough faith in your own abilities that you don't consider losing your job to be a big deal. Of course, you should still either go in with enough savings to cover living expenses for a month or two, or join a company that has enough money in the bank that you can acquire those savings before their money runs out.
