why not both? If you want to do something incredible, sacrifices often need to be made.

I wonder if this is a misunderstanding on accountability. The demo days hold people accountable to others AND themselves.

There is a general movement to eschew accountability which is a huge mistake because this concept is critical in continuous improvement.

Slower != better

There are times to go fast and take on a little debt vs going slow and getting it right.

It's often hard to know the right time to apply the right strategy. I would like to believe that's what experience gives us.

what if the push to work 4 days instead of 5, and less hours in a day, and the wedge being driven between the founders and the proletariat is the result of a psi-ops from Russia and China to hobble the US from the inside. Convince the current generation that working hard and pursuing your craft is inherently a bad thing. I feel like this would work.

fabricated outrage. There is no reason why a "go for it" startup wouldn't be honest about the hours they want to get out of employees. You don't have to work here. It's not always a conspiracy.

at will, exempt employee. no overtime. There is generally no cap on the number of hours an employee can legally work in a day. Employer can ask for just about any hours, and you can quit if you don't like it.

Have a discussion. Present your case and listen to your manager's response. I can't speak for all managers, but I've never met a reasonable manager who wanted to drive our a good engineer even in this economy. Perhaps there was a misunderstanding along the way? Don't listen to the people who presume all managers are bad, have bad motive, want to screw you for stochastic reasons, or are 100% willing to execute their manager's bad plan. A lot of managers are ex engineers just like you that want to build great products, enjoy work and their engineering brains still exist and don't want to be a*h*les.

There is way less team loyalty. Teams are not geographical, so no physical attachment. Teams change players too much for me to become a fan and buy their merch.
