      Here’s another one: it’s not only possible to work more than 8 productive hours per day, it’s imperative to do so in the early days of a startup. Related: People believe the reverse largely because it makes them feel better about themselves, not because it’s true.https://twitter.com/andrewchen/status/1025817195174080512 …

      This is bullshit. To me this says that a start up doesn't give a shit about family, hobbies, mental health. You can keep your start up job if that's the case. And shove it. Related: I work at one that basically enforces 7 hour days and we are doing very alright thank you.

      Talking about founders, and your tone is insane for jumping into a “controversial belief” convo

          Sorry, as I said elsewhere, founders is a different matter and a choice - but context was lost as ever on twitter, I didn't see the original 'controversial belief's. I just want anyone reading it as I read it to recognise the alternative (and I believe true) reality of start ups.

          Startups require a 24/7 work schedule. There is no clock in, clock out mentality. It’s imperative to fit exercise, fun, family, and some sleep into your schedule. Judge a founder by what he does between Friday at 5pm and Monday at 8am.

          You should both clarify this as "VC backed startups". Imperative, likely yes, because your backers are counting on you to do so.

          Early employees too though. If you can put in 10 hours a day, best for people to go to a large company.
