What the heck? And why is everyone even discussing this? What kind of nightmare.

some social media grifters are boasting this amount of work -- mostly young ai startup founders.

the trouble is, for the amount of work these people claim they are doing, i'm not seeing actual things being shipped.

You'd think that with the 10x speed up from AI-assisted coding combined with the 2.5x working hours from 996, we'd be drowning in unicorn IPOs by now.

It's hard to imagine how much will be shipped if they really do vibe coding 996! It's like a x20 engineer!

My first thought was 9 hour days, 9 days in a row, then 6 days off. At first it sounds nice, but I know out of those 9 hours there would be 4-5 truly great hours and the rest would be meh.

Fuck that shit.
