A comment on YC is a cult. Parent comment

Yeah, the 18 hour days reference was simply to imply that starting a startup is a full-time, front-of-mind undertaking.

I think it's safe to say that this guy took it a bit out of context.

I think the article is a troll, but I don't think you can fault him for the way he interpreted that sentence. You said you've been working 18 hours a day, and then you implied that the only time you took off was to watch a movie now and then.

I interpreted the statement literally too.

You can check out my response on my blog for the clarification. I suppose it was a bit awkwardly worded at first.
