Just want to clear up a few things, since this is getting more attention that I thought it would.
1) I am not saying you should do this. I code this much because I'm a co-founder of a pre-funding startup and am working hard to get my company off the ground, and because I enjoy coding.
2) Programming 80+ hours a week is absolutely insane. I'm not saying I'm anything special because I do it or that people who do it are anything less. I'm just another SV entrepreneur working hard to turn an idea into a company.
3) I wrote this post for other founders like me who are in worse shape than I in hopes that some of the things in here might help them.
- koonsolo 11y agoIf I was in your shoes, I would try to optimize my output instead of optimizing the hours behind my computer. Think about it. You say you still have time to do research, so do some research on working 40+ hours for more than 1 month. With your 80+ hours/week for 11 months, your productivity has turned way negative compared to doing half of those hours. Let me put this in other words: If you had worked the past 11 months at 40 hours a week, you would have produced more than the 11 months you did now on your insane 80+/week. Take a day off, get some good night sleep, read this again, and think about it. Don't believe me? Do some research.
