Hey, makers and marketers of Product Hunt,

This is Bill, a member of the @Scrumball marketing team.

Still feels unreal. Last week, we crossed 10,000 people using Pretty Prompt!

Just 3 months after launch .

What started as a weekend hack to solve our own problem, is now loved by so many users around the world!

The AI gold rush feels like it rewards teams who ship fast. Many teams are working on a 9-9-6 (9am-9pm, 6 days a week) schedule to keep up with the state of the art breakthroughs and features. Does this give teams an edge against their competition or is this slowly burning teams out.
If you're building in the AI space, I would love to hear what your take is:

• What works for your team and do you follow the 996 schedule?

• Did following a 996 culture create more bugs or actually lead to breakthroughs and push you ahead of your competition?

• How would you balance your life outside of work if you followed this schedule?

Making this post to raise awareness and ideally find a middle ground for teams that are currently growing and trying to keep up with the competition
