work-life balance is not the startup game. There's a lot of entrepreneurs that are coming, rising through the ranks at the moment that have kind of been raised on the Elon philosophy of do shit tons of things, do them intently, do them with less of a regard for the, I guess the human consequence, do them with less of a regard for work-life balance. The nature of this thing, because it's, you know, you're by nature dead as a startup. Work-life balance is not the startup game. When like, when we started LinkedIn, we started with people who had families. So we said, sure, go home, have dinner with your family. Then after you're done with your family, open up your laptop and get back into the shared work experience and keep working. If you say that today though, you're toxic. The people who think it's toxic don't understand the startup game and they're just wrong. Right? The game is intense. And by the way, if you don't do that, then eventually you're out of a job.
