    I wanted to hurl from the photos alone.

    -iPhone filter

    -Group of employees eating at the office -Sign of amazing work-life balance

    -Employees who are all interchangeable and mid twenties at most

         -I don't see anyone that I'd identify as being 30 or older
    -Wall of keyboards

    -An actual chalkboard

    -Shoe rack at the entrance

        -You know it's rank in there
    Article also pre-emptively denies the 996 allegations because of "passion". Author also works for Cursor.

        Nice $COMPANY_NAME defense force there. Maybe you're collecting a check like the author of this article.

          No, I just dislike ad-hoc insulting people for superficial things, because the focus was on the photos, not the article. I realize the irony of my previous comment, so apologies for that.

        In general I agree with you, but parent poster is right that this article is complete marketing garbage. I can't remember the last time I read such a pretentious article for such a relatively...mediocre tool. Not a dig against cursor - it's cool! - but the scale of what they're doing does not match the tone of this article at all.

        I know this article is marketing fluff, but the level of hubris displayed is astounding. Seriously, read the entire article. I know billions of dollars is a hell of a drug, but this author might as well have joined a cult.

    this is at the very least the pinnacle of idealized startup-corporate culture… i am always skeptical of what these things look like in practice, because these kinds of pieces always seem to be a trailing indicator, but they do seem to have their collective heads in the right places…

    All of that and it seems they are going to fail miserably.

    Wow, tell me you're doing 996 without saying you're doing 996.

      My workplace has a very similar culture and nobody works 996.
