Look, the post has eight hundred and nine words which break down to four thousand four hundred and seventy two letters (according to wc). It's pretty dense in content, there is no fluff - most of the words are important. The above comment addresses fourteen letters (or 0.3% of the post's content). This is now all we're discussing. The rest of the content is pretty much ignored.
As far as I can tell the hours are completely tangential to the main topic of the post. If that one line was removed, suddenly the main thrust of the comments here would have been totally different. Let's not turn into a community that focuses on soundbites, please. We can be better than that.

The way threads work, if you feel like discussing some other aspect of the article then you can go right ahead and start another top-level thread about it. For me, the revelation that they routinely work twelve-and-a-half-hour days, every day, is the most important part of this "company culture" post. It's the one that, if I were considering applying for a job at this company, decide that there is absolutely no fricking way I wanted to work at this company.
