My first instinct was to post a message on HN about how yet another company is fetishizing overtime. It's not even productive to work at that pace; IIRC, most if not all people wear down too quickly for that to make sense. If anything, this proves that the management at Pinterest can neither stay on top of their own product nor set deadlines properly.

... all judgment aside, I hope the people working there are doing alright. Hinging your self worth on your work ethic in a company can be exhausting.

Agreed. I'm done with making pithy comments about this sort of thing. It sounds a lot like an unhealthy culture, but I don't want to make that call based on a single article.

I wish the Pinterest team well, and I hope (for their sake) that this sort of behaviour isn't chronic.

Agree but I think it's still a little eye-rolling because the implication is a degree of self-importance that may not be justified.
