While I don't doubt the rest of the article, I will say as a former Uber intern (this past summer) the vast majority of us were not overworked. I (and most of my fellow Uber interns) worked between 40-50 hours a week, and we were paid

Awesome idea/execution. One issue with HN that I constantly run into is that I might miss an interesting article because each submission (30 on each page) look so similar. Your approach (where at most 4 articles appear within my browse
