Is 996 quietly becoming the norm at AI Startups?

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

Do you listen to music while working? Does it improve your productivity or impact it negatively?

I am a hardcore music lover and love to listen to it while working. But sometimes, I do feel like, listening to music impacts my productivity. Has anyone experienced the same? Do you have any tips to share, to me and to the community in general?

Remote workers, how do you stay productive while being isolated?

The biggest boom in remote work was during the COVID pandemic, but corporations have started to call employees back into their offices, either because of prepaid office space or better control over employees' work.

Some have stuck with the remote model until now, e.g. Spotify.

Stop waiting for users to explain themselves. They never will.

I learned this the hard way after spending weeks staring at dashboards trying to reverse-engineer why people dropped off.

Someone showed interest didn't convert. Someone signed up never came back. Someone was on a trial quietly disappeared.

Serious talk: quitting your job to focus full time on your hustle, what did/does it take for you?

TBH, I think chasing your dream is a luxury and not a given, I couldn't just do it out of gut feeling, I had to build toward that. In my case, there have been two determining factors: - a certain level of security for a few months ahead - the right project (have done a couple of projects before, both eventually dropped, the third one was the charm!) What about you?
