Great list, but to me the last two items aren't like the others. Everything about starting tech companies has gotten easier and cheaper, but accountants and lawyers haven't really changed all that much.
He didn't specify exactly how much they are paying for those two, but it still sounds like it will be a fairly beefy hourly rate or a retainer + equity. I think for a boostrapped company these are still your two really big overhang costs where people end up weighing going without or dyi versus committing to legal or accounting as your biggest up front operating expense.
Of the two, I'd say accounting has probably changed the most, there are plenty of workable software solutions for keeping books that aren't too bad and it seems like there are plenty of people trying to build startups around that particular problem. Can't say the same on the legal item though.
