You read correctly. And it has consequences. The startup culture is very toxic in terms of use of psychotrops. People takes all kind of drugs (alcohol included) often with a laxist attitude from supervisors and drugs + workload + stress = lot of catastrophs. Ho! And of course, the more crunches the more open bar there are to reward you from keeping on with the good job and release the pressure. EDIT and it happens that drinking overlaps with production duties during crunches, when people are already lacking of rest. Thus, generating of course more production incidents. Startup are brain crunchers and are free to go on since there is no legal liability for this, and they don't pay the price for the damages since they just fire burnt out employees who have to pay for fixing themselves afterward and tell customers there are no guarantees software works, it is a lose-lose-win situation.
