I wish it were selection bias. Unfortunately, every time I hear about a YC company they seem to brag about the hours they work.
Are there numbers about this? A survey of average hours worked in YC startups (ideally separating code / biz time) would be helpful to give people a realistic idea of what they're signing up for when they apply.
- icey 18y agoNow I'm positive you're trolling. Kudos to you for a troll well executed.
- mattmaroon 18y agoNo it wouldn't, because again, YC doesn't dictate the hours. You're signing up for whatever you want to sign up for. It's not as if you punch a time card and PG looks at them. People work so hard because they want to do well on demo day. Other than that one day, I don't know of any way to pitch to all of the top investors in the industry at once. You'd be a fool to not try to maximize your productivity with that in mind.
- Xichekolas 18y agoIf you want to work a guaranteed maximum of eight hours a day, then America has just the thing for you... I hope you like cubicles.
