An odd trend I’m noticing: A lot more startups (esp AI startups) bragging about how much they work: in terms of well past midnight, 6-7 days per week, 12+ hour days etc. What is the end game here? Good job grinding. But it’s v hard to innovate + ship quality sleep deprived…

I once told a dev to go home, as he looked knackered, and make sure he had a good sleep. Came in the next morning, he has worked past midnight and slept on the floor. We checked out his code, and reverted the entire previous days work as it was riddled with bugs. He was genuinely upset. So was I.
