When I get drunk, I also lose track of time and enjoy myself quite a bit. If I were an alcoholic, that doesn't mean its right. Trust me, im all for enjoying work, but this startup culture mentality of: "outwork the other guy 16 hours a day and have nothing else" is getting out of hand.
- bumblebird 17y agoWhat startup mentality. Where? When did it start getting out of hand? Some data needed there me thinks.
- jasonlbaptiste 17y agodata would actually be really interesting. take a survey of early startup employees and entrepreneurs. in the meantime, if you spend enough time around the industry culture, you know this is a problem.

- bumblebird 17y agoCool, but you can't say "it's getting out of hand" from a single data point.
- bumblebird 17y agoWhat is wrong with you HN? "Getting out of hand" relates to the rate of change. Not a single data point.
