- Comment on VC behind ‘996’ work culture debate says 5-day weeks won't build billion-dollar startups 2 weeks ago:
I’ve seen a handful of new startups posting about their 4-day, 32-hour work weeks. I can only imagine they’re bringing on a scuzzton of top talent at middle-of-the-road prices.
When one of them IPOs for a billion dollars, I hope their employees are incredibly annoying about it. I hope they never shut up. I hope my LinkedIn feed is wall-to-wall “look what you can do on four days a week.” I hope they go door to door with a Rolex on both wrists and say “hello, sir/madam, I just wanted you to know I haven’t worked a Friday in five years.” I hope they post pictures of themselves relaxing with a martini at the start of every three-day weekend and people go ballistic in the comments and they don’t even notice because they’re too busy doing interviews with Forbes and Fortune Magazine. I hope I get sick and tired of hearing about four day weeks.

+1 for biking. I track my bike rides with Apple Health and it’s pretty solid, I don’t know if it would be hard to make those importable to the game.

- Comment on Tokyo government gives workers 4-day workweek to boost fertility, family time 7 months ago:
I had 12 weeks of paternity leave at my last job. The only rule was that, as secondary caregiver, I couldn’t take it all at once.
I spread out the last 8 weeks and took every other Friday off for several months. It was awesome, and if it reduced my productivity, the difference was imperceptible. I had to be a little more keyed in on Mondays, sure, but I always felt more than capable after a long weekend.
