I can't even count the number of places I've interviewed and the number of entrepreneurs and startup engineers I know who work insane hours. I took a stand last year and said I'd stop working >40 hours a week -- full stop. It was the best decision I ever made. Sure, I got laid off from a small startup, but they had their priorities all wrong and weren't doing much right anyways. Now I'm at a place where the office is deserted at 6pm and I've never seen as much success and high quality innovation. I wish more folks in the startup scene would stop with the pissing contest of hours. It's seriously dumb. We're about disruption, right? Well how about disrupting silly norms like the 40 hour workweek?

"Not the place to swing around"? Firstly, there's plenty of entrepreneurs here who don't code at all. Secondly, that's a really silly thing to say. Do you honestly think that you can't be a great Rails engineer without having fluency with linked lists off the top of your head in an interview type situation? I can think of a thousand questions that would give me a much more accurate idea of how good a candidate would be as a web developer and the day to day issues they would face.

"unable to implement a simple linked list"
"Vet the technical competency of full stack rails engineers..."3 hrs of backend/algo testing? rolleyes
4 hrs of frontend? rolleyes
I hope they enjoyed tooting their own horn, yet another place I know to avoid bothering to interview at.

80k for a developer in SF? I don't know how accurate that is right now
