Should a site like HN get taken to court if someone dies from working 100 hour work weeks at their startup? Reading through many articles makes me believe that

Should a site like HN get taken to court if someone dies from working 100 hour work weeks at their startup? Reading through many articles makes me believe that's what I need to do to succeed.
- eru 13y agoInteresting argument. Only, I doubt the premise. Productivity will fall at some point. And in your startup you only care about productivity, not about impressing people with your actual hours. (You might want to impress people with tales of your alleged hours..)
- dclowd9901 13y agoIt's one thing to internalize something you've read and apply it to your life. It's quite another to fear a) not getting a job or b) losing your job because the company allows ridiculous work practices to run rampant. They knew what was up, and the shame is on them.
