Hi Sam. As you wrote you are 7 days a week, how many hours is it per week?
Re:I'm having the worst career winter of my life by sam_corgi on Friday January 02, 2026 @08:11PM (#46471666)
We don't make people punch in and punch out. We give people the flexibility they need to do what they need to do. If we are not taking care of personal errands etc, we're working on something fun. We do get out and do things as a team etc & take breaks when needed lol.

Edit: To answer your question I work at least probably 14 hours, but there are times when it's less and times when it's more, depends how hard I can push given the constraints. It varies.

You work 14 hours per day every single day? What's your fitness regimen?

> I work at least probably 14 hours

Show me the most impressive thing you've done so far. 14 hours a day should result in something important right? Something valuable?

Let's all see what it took you 14 hours per day every day to build. Show us, because so far you have a placeholder website with no product and zero customers!

LOL 14 hours a day to have not even a single customer and NO PRODUCT to speak of.

You might be WASTING your time Sam.

Is this sarcasm?

It is not. We respect it's not for everyone but enjoy hacking and building & do it in our free time anyway.

Says the company with no product, no customers.

7 days a week, 14 hour days, and nothing to show for it.

Imagine working every single day with no days off and you don't even have a product.

The CEO and CTO of Corgi must be complete morons to pay that much in salary and hourly wages to get NOTHING for it.

So does everyone at Anthropic. What do you think about how your talent compares to theirs?

My understanding is that in the UK things are often done 8 days a week.

We also do 25 hour days.
