The question that occurs to me is: if you knew that was in your future, would you spend your last 10 good years toiling at a startup?

In Lee's case, at least when he started his career; the answer to that is definitely "yes". He didn't "toil", and he was working on something he believed in and was passionate about.

While Lee's personality changed a lot over time, he was always the guy who got more out of hanging out in a garage building something than someone touring France/Italy/etc.
