I did 100 hr weeks for my first startup 3 decades ago for about 4.5 months, then wound up in a hospital. The code turned out OK but my body was pretty much used up. After that I decided becoming more efficient in 40 hrs or less is much better.
- SlowBro 9y agoHaving experience the burnout lesson the hard way, I do pace myself. Sundays are for friends, church, and family. I get all the sleep I want. I stop at times to read YC news and talk to others :-) I get bike rides and watch a movie now and again. Life is not all about work.
