Startups embody the toxicity of startup culture. There is no need to only make one the bogeyman. Hypergrowth == toxic.

- davidjnelson 9y agoHard to generalize. Some startups have 40 hour week expectations, others, 80-100 hour week expectations. Some promote and actually follow red/green/refactor tdd, some "don't believe in unit tests". It's even this way at big companies. Fb/goog are high growth, I hear some teams are great and some have the issues of poor work/life balance. Curious to hear other people's take.
- kafkaesq 9y agoThe problem lies, in part, from the fact that they all think they soon will be (or are already) the next FB/Google/Uber. And hence, need to start "acting" accordingly.
