A critique of the 996 work culture (9am-9pm, 6 days a week) promoted by some tech companies and founders. The author argues that while intensity and dedication matter, sustainable productivity comes from output rather than hours worked. Excessive work schedules lead to burnout and are particularly problematic when founders impose them on employees who lack the same risks and leverage. True success requires balancing professional commitment with personal life and well-being.
