The advice is not bad, just tailored towards someone looking for a good stable boring job, which is all ok. Therefore the chaos of startups is highlighted as a red flag. Might be good to add here that there are good learnings in the chaos of startups as well, for particular people, at particular times.

Is it? the "green" answers mentioned on-call and crunch periods.

I'd say these questions are simply about enquiring about a sustainable pace and humane practice, the ones you find to actually be the most important with seniority.

And you can totally have those in a startup environment; may I argue that the successful ones more often got those right than not (and also often get internally enshittified later on as they grow into the Dead Sea effect)
